Peregrine Fly-By

Normally we would be able to check on the Logan site remotely but an unforeseen hiccup has occurred.

In other wards it was required to do a site check the Old Fashion Way…with hands on approach.

No she’s not a remote control bird…Spencer (Brandon hatch 2013) was part of a transmitter program.

Well it’s that time of year…Peregrines have been returning and getting down to business.

We have been closely monitoring the sites and confirming over the last little while who has paired up with who…this is what we know as of April 28.

– Radisson…Pip & Fiona have 3 eggs and she choose the East Side ledge (not what we wanted but it is what it is)
– West Wpg…Ty & Ella have settled right in and now 3 eggs.
– Logan…Hart & Spencer also with 3 eggs.
– Incubating has now begun at these locations.
– will also be keeping a close eye on other locations to see how they progress
– last but not least…now working out details to have a Live Camera View.
Yes everyone will be notified when/if this happens.

I’m Out of Here

West Wpg site check had found Ella suddenly making a fast direct flight as if on a mission. Then watching her appear and disappear over a low building…it was apparent the hunt was on and she was focused on a pigeon. After three missed attempts she came to rest on the light stand…she simply sat and looked around before taking off.
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
