Not all birds are equal when it comes to flight…some are large and slow and others are faster.
Peregrines on the other hand are in a league all their own…and fly at mach speed.

This is evident when the chicks are removed from the nest site during banding. Both adults instantly become very aggressive in efforts to protect the young.

So the challenge begins…just sayin !

Peregrine Chick (male) showing me his New Bling and back in the nest box safe and sound…at this stage they still looks cute and cuddly.
Looks can be deceiving as we found out.
Perhaps the three most aggressive little terrors with attitudes we’ve had in a while…lots of grabbing, clawing and biting.

The eggcitement is building as Ella and Pip now incubating 4 eggs at the Radisson Hotel…with an estimated hatching date to begin around Victoria Day May 23rd.
Peregrine Project has again partnered with Shaw TV to carry a Live Broadcast

For those that have Shaw TV you may also watch it live on Ch. 9 between 9-10 am.
Same time for those that have Blue Curve with Shaw on Ch. 105.

For the next couple weeks I’ll remind you that it’s more like Watching Paint Dry…but if your timing is such you may catch a glimpse of the eggs during sift change.

Don’t forget to bookmark the page.

Cheers !
