Hey David,
When the Peregrines start nesting in the Breaks you guys might want to wear
hard hats. Check out the message below.

Good Morning:
Just passing on an amazing bird behaviour story from Chris Earley,
Interpretive Biologist / Education Coordinator at the Arboretum of the
University of Guelph, Ontario.
While filming segments of his TV show, The Earley Bird, at Bathurst
Inlet in the Canadian Arctic this summer, Chris saw something he has
never heard about before - a Peregrine Falcon was diving at one of the
guides while they were looking up at its nest and twice it dropped a
rock at him. One shot was so accurate that it hit the guide's finger!
Is it any wonder we spend time watching these birds?
Mike
