Thank You 2021

The 2021 breeding season is drawing to a close. The chicks are still on campus, but have not been spending much time at the Campanile. We will still try to document any sightings on camera, but can’t make any guarantees about where they will choose to spend their time!

This has been a truly amazing year and we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone involved in this project. First and foremost, we’d like to thank Annie and Grinnell and all their fledglings, including this year’s: Fauci, Kaknu, and Wek’-wek.

In the non-feathered category, there is an army of people and institutions who made this happen. We would like to thank:
