I hope it's just the transmitter that has perished and not Pete. Oh, I hope so to. It would be great if someone spotted him back at his old nesting place this summer. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

Purrs and hugs to you and your family. Thank you, Theresa. It was sad, obviously, but also beautiful, as the sun was shining and the birds of spring were singing their hearts out all around the urn cemetary. There was especially a blackbird really giving us his whole repertoire. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

The Museum of Natural History here in Helsinki is running a project where they fit out ospreys with satellite transmitters and monitor their migration patterns. I've been cooperating with them from the start, translating their web pages to English. Last summer, they fitted a male osprey whom they named Pete with his own transmitter, and I've been following his progress to Senegal last autumn, and a few weeks ago he started back towards Finland. A few days ago the transmitter started malfunctioning, and now they think Pete has perished. I just translated the last update. So feeling a bit sad. Today is also the day we bury my brother-in-law's ashes. If anyone in interested in the osprey project, the web site is athttp://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi/english/zoology/satelliteospreys/pete/spr... (I hope they correct the year soon). -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. (((Marina))) Belated, but heartfelt. Sounds like you're having a tough week. Caliban, Miranda, your Hoomin needs you! Extra strength comforting needed right now, please! Melissa |
