Are we not lucky that Princess has accepted Ivy and that chicks are coming?!
Are we not lucky that it appears that Jules may have found a mate?!
So, instead of mourning for Trey (which we shouldn't be), we should be taking joy in that fact that nature prevails, and that Trey and Princess' son, Ivy, is continuing the bloodline.
Let's all enjoy these moments, and move forward.

So it is not permissible to be concerned that Trey, long-time resident male at this nest, has not returned, and we should "move forward"?
I think Trey deserves recognition and appreciation for his great contributions to the restoration of the peregrine population, rather than being seemingly pushed aside as if he were not important.

I also agree completely with you guys..... We all know why we're here, and we're all happy to have any breeding & continuation of the species going on - but we're also emotional humans and do become attached to our local Peregrines. :) - And that attachment is a good part of what helps keep us so focused & interested & loyal to the cause. :D Nothing wrong with voicing some disappointment that our favorite King of the Skies hasn't shown up yet. We'll vent, fret, wonder and then get over it, and move on to supporting the new relationship that seems to be forming. :-X... We'd all like to see Trey arrive and know that he's ok, probably TPC more than anyone. Our Leader has to deliver a professional outlook on the subject, she's a scientist and her aim is to educate and promote interest & support. The rest of us tend to humanize and want things to be 'just so' - and change isn't always easy - vocalizing this isn't wrong, it's communication. So we'll say 'GO FOR IT Princess & Ivy', we're with you all the way!! - but Trey, you're still our hero and we hope you come back some day!. ;D ;D

Well said, Kinderchick! Like you, I am pleased (and relieved) that we will have chicks here this year with Princess and Ivy -- and, as a couple of people have posted, yes, we ARE here for the peregrines. I don't think it diminishes that, though, to acknowledge that we miss Trey and, almost as important, wish we knew his fate. Still, soon your little chicklets will be excitedly watching the web cam, waiting for eggs to hatch, then waiting for chicks to fledge -- such an exciting time ahead for all of us!

--- Quote from: bev. on April 09, 2010, 10:08 ---Just a comment. I think everyone is glad there will be chicks here and are in the Now. but as people come back to the site and are checking in, they are just expressing their sadness at Trey not being here. They are not ,not glad to see , new relationships taking place. We are all here for the peregrines .
Most of us have already had our turn at it earlier and have had the chance to now accept what is now. Others are just now expressing their feelings.

Thank you for posting this comment, bev... yes, I am happy to hear that Princess will most likely be laying some eggs in the very near future, even with Ivy being the father. I am very supportive of the Recovery Project and am thrilled that we will have chicks here in Winnipeg. But that does not mean that I don't miss Trey. He was a wonderful peregrine and a great father. Although, I do have some new 'chicklets in my classroom this year, who do not even know Trey, my last year's 'chicklets, who are now in Gr. 1, bonded with Princess and Trey in a very special way and were looking forward to seeing them both again. However, I do know that "all will be well" with the 'chicklets, when Princess lays her eggs and the chicks begin to hatch, whomever the father is! :)

Both birds around the east side for a bit, one on the ledge and one on the sign. Just took off, one after the other.
