I found out today that the baby Peregrines in downtown Duluth have names. The three females are Nora (P-76), Diane (P-77) and Maggie (P-78). The male is Davey (C-73). Robert Anderson, the bander, put an annual report about his Peregrine banding on the Raptor Resource Project website.
Also, one of the babies, I think Davey, had his photo on this week's Duluth Reader Weekly newspaper. You can see that photo and get links to lots of information about the babies here: http://www.birderblog.com/?v=08-03-05#08-03-05_175554.txt I'm working with Bob Anderson to figure out how Binoculars.com can provide a nest cam for these birds next year.

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. --Rachel Carson
