Thinking ahead to thoughts of spring…we could be seeing Peregrines in Winnipeg air space as soon as 24+ days ?
Last year our first bird showed up March 11th which isn’t that far away…so my count down timer has begun.

The question always remains, will Princess return again this year ? She’s now 16 and has been the resident female at the Radisson Hotel since 2004…time will tell.

There will soon be much to do in prepping for their return…then the excitement begins to see who’s back and who is with who.

Sad news received that the veterinary staff had to make the tough call to euthanize Beatrix.

She had been rescued in Texas after a hail storm in that area March 2016. After all the proper paper work had been put in place Beatrix arrived back in Winnipeg by way of a commercial flight in Dec 2016.

On her arrival she went back in to rehab here…and after a year of treatment her feet weren’t healing with new infections continuing to reappear.

Beatrix was hatch from the Radisson Hotel (downtown Winnipeg 2011)

She had been the resident female at the West Wpg site in 2013-2015

We had hoped that she would be released back into the wild this spring.
