Hi everyone, My mistake! I provided the WRONG address for the peregrinewatch yahoo group. The CORRECT one is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peregrinewatch/ Sorry it took me so long to correct this. I was out in the field. Really cool happenings at Peregrine Watch while I've been gone (of course!).

Hi folks, Thought I'd pass along Julie's announcement for the start of Peregrine Watch 2009 in Duluth. It's GREAT fun and very addictive! Debbie p.s. Peregrine Watch also has its own yahoo group, www.groups.yahoo.com/peregrinewatch, where we post daily updates on the falcons' activities. This next month will be tremendously exciting! ____________________________ Debbie Waters Education Director Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory P.O.

Hi everyone! Well... after some uncertainty, we've got Peregrine Watch 2009 ready to launch! We've had some setbacks this year with funding and equipment, so we'll be doing a scaled-back version of the Watch, but we'll be in the park 5 days a week for 5 hours each day (weather permitting). Check Sam Cook's blog this weekend for a story on us http://www.areavoices.com/samcook/. We applied for several grants that were declined (not unexpectedly, given this economy!), but the City of Duluth has offered their partnership again, so we'll have our signs, storage area, park permit and parking areas for staff; the Fond du Luth Casino has provided free parking passes for us for the times we need to use the parking ramp adjacent to the nest site; Hawk Ridge is fronting the funding for staffing and basic supplies to keep Peregrine Watch afloat during these lean times. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Watch... we really appreciate your generous contributions! Our staff this year will consist of a new intern naturalist, Jess Johnson and me. I'm excited to work with Jess, she brings some great experience to Peregrine Watch! Please come down and meet/welcome Jess to the PW team. Peregrine Watch hours will begin on June 3, and will run Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10am to 3pm, weather permitting. We will NOT have our receiver and monitor this year, so we're back to watching the 'old fashioned' way--with scopes and binoculars and our ears! In some regards, I'm looking forward to the excitement and mystery of not really knowing what's happening inside the next box until the banders arrive! Peregrine Watch is again looking for volunteers to help with interpretation and information. If you'd like to volunteer with us, please be in touch with me at [email protected], or call my cell phone at 218-348-2291. We'd love to have you join us in the park! Full details and information are available on our website at www.hawkridge.org <http://www.hawkridge.org/> . If you'd like to become a Peregrine Watch sponsor, you may send contributions to: Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory PO Box 3006 Duluth, MN 55803 Please specify that your contribution is for Peregrine Watch. Looking forward to seeing you all again this year!
