An Early Spring?

If you are skeptical that spring will ever arrive, check out the countdown timer above. If for you spring is when the peregrines return (and so it should be) even if the eastern groundhogs are right and we have six more weeks of winter, that's about the time the peregrines start to return to Manitoba. Last year, both Princess and Trey returned together on March 23rd, that's only seven weeks (49 days) from today! Granted they bombed into town last year right before a huge winter storm hit the Canadian Prairies and the US Midwest, but they are almost always back at the Radisson by the end of March/beginning of April. Hopefully both Princess and Trey will be back safe and sound by the time the countdown timer runs "out". Typically, the Brandon birds arrive a week or so later, but Ivy and Jules are a bit unpredictable, so we will have to start watching for them a wee bit earlier this year.
