Princess the Radisson Matriarch 2002-2022
She was hatched in Minneapolis Minnesota in 2002 and ended up in Winnipeg in 2004
My first encounter with her was in 2006 and a force to be reckoned with.

She had been the resident female at the Radisson since 2004. During that time she had 4 different mates…Trey (2004-2009) Ivy (2010-2013) Smiley (2014-2016)
Pip (2017-2018) and raised a whack of kids.

When Princess didn’t return in 2019 and we suspected the worse.
Then total shock when Wildlife Haven contacted the Project in July 2021…she was rehabbed and more than ready to be released.

We released her and off she flew to parts unknown.

Then only to be again found at the end of November in Winnipeg and back to Wild Life Haven…this time it wasn’t possible to rehab her and her quality of life needed to be considered.

She won’t be forgotten…as her children and grandchildren are found across the prairies and the states.

Farwell Princess.

Having to zig zag my way through the back roads due to a couple of snow bound roads and homeward bound under clear skies.
Recapping the day as I drive…suddenly an un-expected surprise along the road.
She sat there unconcerned with my presence and provided me with a late day reward before I continued on.
Mental note made and I must check this area again.
