One of the Selkirk chicks is in rehab - not injured so either blown about in the storm yesterday or it was the second chick and first fledge was not ideal.  Means we will be able to get a band on at least one of these chicks and yes, I already have a name or two prepped and waiting to be used, but you will have to wait until after the chick has been banded and returned to the nestsite.  Not sure when that will be, we need to arrange schedules the rehabber and I and in the meantime the "kid" will be getting extra helpings of quail and its own private accomodations.

More news as I have it.

Wow in Selkirk, I work there, are you able to share the location, I could keep an eye out during my lunch hoir adn before and after work.  Excitign.
 :) :) :)

If I was looking I would look for a place like a water tower or maybe even a communications tower, someplace up high, didn't TPC say there was a crows nest in poor condition that they nested in.  You might see the fledglings and the parents in and around that area.   :)

So exciting!!  Ty's back and has a family!  How amazing it'll be if he returns next year and nests in a safe place with Paris :)  I hope his one remaining chick stays safe. :-*

OMG! This is such exciting news! Another nesting pair of PF's in Manitoba! And Ty, one of our former Radisson chicks, to boot! Couldn't be better news! ;D So glad to hear that you got to observe both of the parents and their lone fledgling, TPC! 8)

How exciting, especially that it's one of our home grown boys!  Wow... at this rate, we are going to need to clone you TPC.  However are you going to keep up with so many sites? 

Clone, smone, I will love every second of next spring if everyone comes back.  Even more so if we actually have new tenants at the new nestboxes we'd like to get in place this fall.  No better way to spend a cold blowy March morning than trying to hunker down out of the wind at the back of Dennis' truck trying to read a band number on a bird that "just doesn't look like <insert name of a Manitoba peregrine>".  I know that sounds like I'm kidding, but I'm not.  Fledging is nerve-wracking but the rest is mostly just hoping you have one more hour in the day to get this last task done.  :D

As for how to keep up?  With the help of Dennis (and his truck), Eye-Spy (and his cameras), Dr Bob, the Brandon Gang, the CBC Falcon Cams, the Forum and Phanatics, the fledgewatchers and calls from the public - like Lila P who emailed me about Ty and Paris just in time for us to catch them at the nest!

Now all we have to do is hope that everyone stays safe over the winter and finds their way back up here!
