Now there are 3 eyasses (the name for raptor young). The third egg hatched early Tuesday and the little ones were fed breakfast right away.
Volunteer nest monitor, Mr. Wright, tells us: "The chicks will spend a great deal of time sleeping and huddled together for warmth. What to look for.....…

SW and Boomer proudly announce the hatching of their first 2 eggs in 2011. Falcon fans watched and waited throughout Earth Day, April 22, until the next morning and were very surprised to see TWO chicks had hatched. It may be that SW did not begin incubation until the second egg was laid, which would…

Earth Day is on April 22nd . For the past few years, SW and her mate have helped us celebrate Earth Week with newly hatched chicks. This year the fourth egg was laid on March 23rd, and incubation usually lasts 33 to 35 days from the date the last egg, or the second last, was laid. When do you think the first egg will hatch?
Right now you can look for signs that point towards hatching. In the last few days before the hatch, the female often does…

A few days ago, we were at a crossroads with my son's Club. It had started out as a homeschool project: build a website, talk to other kids all over the world. Then it morphed into educational resources and Family Empowerment coaching.
Due to the somewhat emotionally heavy nature of coaching, we decided to transfer the Empowerment series to my website but that left us wondering what we'd do with the Club. There was a huge hole in content. We wondered if we should call it a…

There are many ways to foster an early love of nature for your children and you don’t need to travel far to do this. You can go along to some local woodland or public park, or you can begin at home in your back yard. The beauty of nature is that it is all around us just waiting to be explored.
Admiring Flowers
Collecting flowers and then pressing or drying them is an excellent way of teaching your children about the various plant life out there.…

A friend of mine recently posted the quote "Live the life you want your child to lead." Who originally said it, I have know clue. I shared the quote with my husband who was starting to feel guilty about his time away from our son, as he trains for his attempt to summit Denali (Mt. McKinley), the tallest peak in North America in June. While it is true, due to his demanding job and the training he doesn't get to spend as much time home as he wants, and sometimes I have to kick him out the door…
ContinueGet Outdoors Month in the Northern Hemisphere heralds the arrival of spring. Down here in the Antipodes we're heading into Autumn. Even so, April as outdoors month still makes sense; gone are the humid steamy Sydney days that for a week this year didn't drop below 30 degrees with many days exceeding 40. So autumn and spring really are the best months to be outside for any length of time. Less need to slap on the sunscreen, hats and mozzie repellent, and like today, beautiful soft and gentle…

There is just something so cute about frogs; maybe it’s because of all the fairy tales about kissing frogs and turning them into handsome princes, or maybe Kermit has done his fellow frogs a great service and turned them into the loveable fellas they are. Whatever it is the little creatures are fascinating to us and to our eager-minded little nature explorers.
Following the life cycles of frogs from tadpole to adult frog is also an excellent way of showing your children…
