It’s Getting Close

Close to the middle of March and the thoughts of Peregrines returning is now on my mind. We are now underway and have already begun to prep for another season.
The question that’s always on our minds at this time is…will Princess (Minneapolis hatch 2002) again return for another season ?
As you know she returned last year for her 15th season at the Radisson but they hadn’t produced any eggs.
Last year the first bird back was March 17th…so it’s a wait and see when and who will return this year.
Stay tuned as the clock ticks down.

In-Coming Chick

After watching for some time he/she disappeared on the backside of the gravel pile. I thought for sure the excitement was over…then suddenly the chick reappeared.
It was apparent that it was beginning to figure out what it’s wings were for.

Playing in the Sandbox

We recently had some -30c temps not including the wind-chill here in Winterpeg which made it easy to stay inside.
Sifting through some misplaced files and was happy to locate some Peregrine fledge photos.

Unfortunately the timing and location had been such that banding wasn’t possible.

All kids like to play in the sandbox, that’s a given…even young Peregrine Falcons.
