I only saw Brooklyn and Hurricane this morning.  Brooklyn was on the edge of the nest box and Hurricane was on the south light and after work I saw just the one chick on the mts tower.

I saw Brooklyn and Hurricane and one chick today. I usually see all of them or most of them in the very early mornings.  Today there were four very brave pigeons in or on the nest box.  ::) :-X

Brandon chicks have been wandering as well, not as far as the West Winnipeg chicks but they have been down to the Souris area and out to Rivers - for those of you without maps  ;), that is south of Brandon and north and west of Brandon.  They haven't been there regularly, just the occasional long hop and then back to Brandon/McKenzie Seeds area so that they can visit with RCF.

Everyone accounted for today!   :)  Brooklyn was on the edge of the nest box for a while before a kid chased him off.  ::)  Hurricane was on the louvered ledge of the Scotia building, Spencer and Bogart were on the north side black/green ledge and Kelly was on the mts tower.

6:45am

I saw both parents and two kids this morning.  I think all five were there but it's hard to tell since I was following moving targets. ::) It's just not possible to be in two places at the same time.  I saw one chick on the mts tower after work and one flew past the tower heading somewhere towards the east.

I saw all five peregrines yesterday and only Brooklyn and Hurricane today.  Brooklyn was sitting on the edge of the nest box this morning and Hurricane was on the west side Scotia sign napping this afternoon.

Kids from yesterday

   

Spencer because he has a little wrinkle in the end of the transmitter aerial and a feather sticking up on his back where the transmitter is....we noticed this from day one of them wearing the transmitters, so we can usually tell who it is from the other two.



Brooklyn on Scotia building



Hurricane usually only sits under the decorative black/green ledge when it's very windy or storming.   I think she was hidng from the chicks yesterday. ;D

Have a chick on the nestbox - think it might be Bogart or Spencer, think Kelly is larger ... unfortunately the bird is not showing me his/her feet ...

It is Bogart ...

A very wet day for the peregrine family today.  The only one not sitting out in the rain was Hurricane, she was under the black/green ledge staying dry.

From what I have observed from being downtown, the pigeons will sit very close to the peregrines. ::)  The peregrines don't seem all that interested in them unless they are flying.  ;)

 :o With 5 falcons in the area, not to mention, their "Home Sweet Home", these pigeons seem to have a death wish.  ::)
