Bird Down

You just never know what the day will bring ?

As I’m enjoying my morning coffee and read an email then a text that states an injured bird was found in the Selkirk area. My contact went on to say that it looked like a Peregrine ?

After a couple texts and emails I received a photo of the injured bird along with an address and confirmed that it was in fact a Peregrine.

Phone call to Tracy (Peregrine Project Coordinator) and we met at the location. It took some time to locate the bird that had a very good hiding spot. Short time later the bird was in a carrier and on it’s way from the Lockport area to Wildlife Haven Rehab Center.

The bird was unbanded and we think that it may be a Tundra bird that was migrating through ?

It appeared that the bird had a broken wing from what we could tell…will have to wait and see what the outcome is.

Time to Introduce Ella

Introductions are in order…time for you to meet Ella the new lady in town.

She’s from the Brandon hatch 2015 and has showed up in West Wpg to claim the site. It hasn’t been that simple as Faith the resident female from last year has return to visit. Even after a fight in the nest box Ella has stood her ground. Ella and Ty appear to be a good match…so fingers crossed that they will have a successful season.

Faith has gone on to replace Joli (died last year as you may remember) and is with Hart at the Logan site. Here again the fingers are crossed that they will do well…time will tell.
