With a friend in town visiting from Montreal the day would start with a visit to Lockport. For those who are not familiar Lockport is on the Red River North of Winnipeg and attract large numbers of Pelicans each year.
They go about their daily search for fish at the base of the dam giving plenty of up-close viewing opportunities.
After a morning of shooting, lunch at the a unique retro furnished Drive Inn called the Half Moon for a Hot Dog & Home Made Fries…doesn’t get any better than that.
Someone was not happy with our presence on Banding Day…can’t blame her.
Well we now have the potential of adding 3 females and 1 male from the two locations banded into the Peregrine pool.
The chicks have yet to fledge which is always the concern when they do so…hopefully they will all fledge without incident.
Morning visit to watch for some feeding at the Pileated tree. Didn’t take long before the young female was yakking and Dad showed up.
This particular morning the female wasn’t to be seen as Dad seemed to have everything under control…guess she was off filling up on grubs/ants at an old stump somewhere ?
