Falcon Fascination and Wetlands

Sharon's still recovering from having a tree fall on her while eating mushrooms, but, communicating only through eye blinks, she asked me to pass this one to all of you

Dear Sharon,

I'm writing from KQED Public Broadcasting in San Francisco. We recently did a TV story called Falcon Fascination for QUEST - our multimedia series on environment, science and nature. Here’s a brief description:

"When it comes to these Bay Area internet celebrities, you can peak into their homes 24 hours day. QUEST visits a famous pair of Peregrine Falcons in downtown San Jose, whose family dramas-- from courtship to parenthood-- are caught on webcam."




You can watch the video in a much bigger form on the KQED website.

Oh, and while I'm posting links, here's one about the Wetlands Reserve Program:

Congress is considering whether or not to include the wetlands reserve program in the next farm bill. Considering the state of affairs with wetlands in this country, this is really important to have. We've already lost 90% of our wetlands.
It has never been easier to let your representatives know about this.


Here's the link.

Thanks for the link! It is hard to know who to contact, not to mention how and when about issues regarding the environment. I really hope they include that wetland reserve program.

So cool that locals here are taking an interest!

you can peak into their homes 24 hours day.

But... how embarrassing to see that sort of error on a public TV website. Editors and proofreaders really do serve a purpose.

Sharon isn't REALLY hurt, is she? I'm hoping she's enjoying some well deserved time off.
