Tweeters,

You are cordially invited to the dedication of the downtown Tacoma
Peregrine Falcon video camera, in honor of Jim Lyles and his love of
and dedication to these magnificent creatures who have graced us with
their wild presence in the midst of our civil habitat. Bud Anderson
and Mark Prostor of the Falcon Research Group, Kip Wylie and Dennis
Ulmer of WSDOT, have done the "heavy lifting" of installing a video
camera on the Murray Morgan Bridge (11th Street bridge) that is
focused on Guy and Mickee's nest box, where their four eggs are due
to hatch any day now. Roger Orness, Greg Pelletier, Jerry Broadus and
Clarice Clark assisted in the final installation on Monday.

With the kind permission and support of the Washington State
Historical Society, we will install a color video monitor in the
lobby of the Washington State History Museum on Saturday, May 12th,
and hold a brief dedication at 2:00 pm. The lobby is open to the
public with no admission charge. The Museum is located in downtown
Tacoma at 1911 Pacific Avenue, and the phone number is 1-888-238-4373.

We hope to see you there.

Marilynn, David, and Marianne Lyles, Elaine Lyles Zaiger

P.S. As of 1:00 pm today, three of the four eggs have hatched. There
is live video on a temporary monitor in the museum lobby (Hours are
