This time of year Peregrine Chicks can run into trouble when they fledge.
The Technology we have with remote access and a recorder is most useful as was the case when one chick disappeared from the nest box.
Did she fledge ? Did she get knock out of the box…what exactly happened ?
Review of the recorder confirmed it wasn’t an intentional fledge but rather a miscalculation when she attempted to jump over her brother and went out of the box.
Luckily she simply glided to the ground and spent some time on a sidewalk in downtown Winnipeg before being picked up and taken to Prairie Wildlife Rehab Centre…after being checked out she was ready to be returned to the Radisson.
It could very well have turned out much worse…but she got a “Second Chance” and has now figured out how her wings work.
