AB / Red Deer - Capri Centre - 2009-11

<< < (2/6) > >>

ballywing:
Can't find anything on this nest for this year yet - no cam so although there are peregrines here, I guess nobody knows what's going on  ???

bev.:
there is an active nest  there. On our way to the mountains we stopped there and the other nest site in Red Deer. Beautiful falcons.
the sun was in our eyes so could not get good shots but  I will be that way again in a few weeks and try and get some shots for you.

It is on the back of the hotel so hopefully they f ledge there. I am going to e-mail the regroup in charge of the other site and see if they are going to watch that site also at fledging. this site needs it.

ballywing:
I haven't found anything yet that says there's an active nest here this year - will keep checking :D

bev.:
They placed a nestbox there after the loss of the chicks. The one remaining chick was warmed up and made sure it was O.K. and then they placed a chick from the Misrecordia nestbox in Edmonton there. they had 4  at that site and Gord thought one less mouth to feed would be good for the pair in Edmonton.

One chick came to the ground but was put back up and as far as Gord knows they fledged successfully.

I do not know if the owner is open to a cam and so maybe that is why they went with the other site.

And Red deer does not seem to be  into the falcons but maybe they will get educated with the cam on the other site

I will be going down a few times to see them though ;) ;) Just 1.5 hours away.

The Peregrine Chick:
A little more cleaning up and sorry, not the first time the birds have nested there according to the local biologists - rather they think its the fourth time.  Okay, my question is, exactly how does one miss such large birds making that much racket around a hotel, its not like there aren't alot of folks in and out of the building every day of the year .... and no, I'm not being critical of the folks in Red Deer or the Capri Centre, its just something that ALWAYS amazes me!  :)
