Yesterday Rhea Mae and Tiago became parents of 2 beautiful eyases. Rhea Mae is the 2006 female offspring of Mariah and Kaver of Rochester. Canadian Peregrine Foundation member Linda Woods snapped this shot of one of the adults tending to their fluffy new nestling.
You can watch all the hatching action at the Canadian Peregrine Foundation’s Sheration Centre Nest Webcam!
" We need another, and a wiser, perhaps a more mystical,
concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice,
man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge
and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.
*
We patronize them for their incompleteness,
for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.
And therein we err, and greatly err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man.
*
In a world older and more complete than ours
they move finished and complete,
gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained,
living by voices we shall never hear.
*
They are not brethren.
They are not underlings.
They are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time,
fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
*
Henry Beston
