I would like to thank you for coming to Ross Public and giving the grades 4s and 6s knowledge on the peregrine falcon. 

You inspired us as a class to maybe adopt a falcon as our way of supporting the foundation.  Personally you inspired me to watch out for the falcon and other birds.  I was thinking for the summer to start bird watching as a new hobby.

This foundation gave me more knowledge on the peregrine such as why this wonderful creature loves the tall mountain like skyscrapers, also of the horrible DDT affects that almost brought this magnificent bird to extinction.

I was personally very interested on how the DDT was transferred to the peregrine and also of its horrible affects.

The Canadian Peregrine Foundation doesn't just help endangered raptors, but also inspires, interests, and gives knowledge to students of these wonderful creatures that fill our sky and put music into the world.

Sincerely,

Raven Gagne

We are Mike and Jake from Ross School in Welland.  We really liked the presentation about the Peregrine Falcons.  Jake and I thought it was cool seeing the falcon, Ariel.

The foundation you have is wonderful.  The presenter that came to our school made the Peregrine falcons more interesting by giving us amazing facts about them, like how they hunt and capture their prey. 

Our class would like to adopt a Peregrine Falcon.  Jake and I think it would be fund adopting a Falcon because it would be great seeing pictures of the Falcon we would adopt.  It would also feel good that we are helping an animal out of danger and helping it heal from injuries.

Jake and I still have a few questions to ask.  Jake wants to know how the Peregrine Falcons mate with each other.  He also wants to know if you've ever dealt with an injured Falcon.  I would like to know how long the Peregrine Falcon can fly until they need to rest.  And do you know approximately how big the Falcons can get?

Adopting a Peregrine Falcon would be fun.  Jake and I are looking forward to you writing back.

Sincerely,

Michael and Jake

My name is Nathan.  I really liked the presentation, and hope you will come back.  The reason I really liked the presentation was because of the movie, it was cool and for example it was full of information like telling where, when and how falcons live.  I also liked how the presenter included my class in the presentation, for example she asked questions, made it funny and told jokes.  I also liked seeing the falcon which I learned how big they are, for example that the female is larger than the male, and their height, width and wing-span.

The reason I want to adopt a falcon is because I want to support the Canadian Peregrine Foundation to provide medical assistance for an injured falcon, or poisonings that might occur accidentally to the falcons.  One of the reasons I want to support the foundation is because I like to know I'm making a difference in the world.

Sincerely,

Nathan Hunt

We would also like to extend our appreciation to Ontario Power Generation for their sponsorship of this program.
