Well, hello there Tracy! The 2011 Kinderchicklets are patiently watching and waiting for the CBC/Shaw Falcon Cam to be switched on for this season. Throughout the winter months, they watched little Solo in Australia grow from a chick until she was able to fly away from her nestbox. And they felt sad when she injured her leg but happy again when her leg seemed to get better.
As well, one of the great things about watching peregrine falcons in Australia, was that the Kinderchicklets learned that while it was Spring & Summer over there, way across the ocean, it was Fall & Winter here and there weren't any peregrine falcons here in Winnipeg in the winter, since it was so cold!
A few weeks ago, I began to talk to this year's class of Kinderchicklets about the fact that we now have peregrine falcons right here in Winnipeg. They were so egg-cited to hear that! I have been telling them all about you & Larry & Dennis & Dr. Bob and especially about Princess & Ivy, who live in a nestbox on top of a VERY tall building downtown.
Needless to say, they were full of questions, the very first one being... "When will Princess lay her eggs?" But that question from the 'chicklets was last Friday morning and of course, we all know that since then, she has laid 2 eggs. When I told the 'chicklets about her 2 eggs this morning, they were very, very excited! So now they have another question for you, since I told them that you & Larry have a special little spy camera and you can actually see the eggs... "What colour are Princess's eggs?"
