i've read the above and must agree--as Ei said much of the sadness is for ourselves---beauty, archer and unity are peregrines not humans--they intrinsicly understand that nature is nature--not always kind, and their destinies are to live as the peregrines they are, free and wild---certainly nature seemed cruel this year, yet glorious as well as we watched Quest, Kendal, and baby Harlie---nature offers us no promises, just hope--and that is what I'll hold on to for next year----from callidora, jemison--to this year--i want to thank you all for
your helping me to learn more and for sharing this incredible journey w/me
