West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules

[Cooper]

Both adults greeting a new day and a new month on the east side of the diner. Beau on the "e", Jules farther down on the "s" at 7:30 a.m.

Chilly morning with sundogs framing the morning sun on my way in. Spotted Jules on the "s", east side of diner.

Somebirdy on the "P" at the diner. South side. Not sure who it was. Jules maybe.

A bit of general update on WW girls ...

La Peregrina is still working her way south - only one state between her and the Gulf of Mexico now but Andamooka is still hanging out in North Dakota.

Juliet (2012) has joined her younger sister on the move, she's back in Iowa and though I'm not sure, I think she's not too far away from where she spent most of last winter ... will have to see if she keeps moving or hangs out again.

So nice to have news of Juliet from 2012.

[Cooper]

Just one this morning. Beau, I think, on the south side diner, on the "v". 

[The Peregrine Chick]

couple of trips past the Diner this afternoon and there was a bird hanging out on the south side  - on the "R".  The bird's breast looked small so I'm going to guess that it was Beau.

[Cooper]

Somebirdy still hanging around. Beau (I think) on the "p", east side diner at about 8:15 or so this morning.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Juliet is near where she spent last winter so it will be interesting to see if she sticks or keeps moving.

Andamooka has started her migration and definitely working her way south now but she is more than a few states behind her sister. 

La Peregrina is our speed demon this year - she's reached the Gulf of Mexico.  Now to see if she slows a bit or keeps up her pace and direction.

Where did Juliet spend last winter, TPC? I can't remember.

In the Iowa/Illinois area ... so not so far away relatively speaking ...

Back to that route as of this morning. Just before 8 AM, one on each side I believe. When I looked back and saw the bird on the east facing view, it was quite large, so that must be the female. Glad to see them again before they leave!

[Cooper]

Oh I'm glad you spotted them, closet birder! I went by at about 8:15 and nary a soul. So I figured they may have taken off.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Bird sitting on the east side around 1730-1800h too ... very rusty breast and a very full dark cap.  We are hunting up late season photos of Jules to see if that is how she looks after the nesting season ...

[The Peregrine Chick]

Dennis spent this morning trailing after a "visiting" bird in the outer reaches of the WW territory ...
Male bird Dennis thinks by the size, Canadian bird (black band) but have to wait until the photos are processed to see if we can get the full band number.

Gotta love migration!!!
