Change of Pace

Well with the “To Do List” completed at the summer place in Gimli…it only made perfect sense for some “Me Time”.

Off to check the shallow waters and canals on Willow Island…the timing was perfect as I watched this Great Blue Heron hunt for a meal.

High Tec Bird

Peregrine Falcons have gone “High Tec” in Winnipeg…this bird is carrying some extra baggage. We have a pretty good idea who it is (Spencer – Brandon Hatch 2013) but still needs to be confirmed by a band number.
Brandon hatch 2013 was part of a transmitter program to track their migration/movement.
Spencer was banded as a male and turns out he is a she…appears we made a mistake, hard to tell at 25 days old.
Hopefully will be able to get a positive ID soon ?
