Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

--- Quote from: Saoirse on April 06, 2010, 08:05 ---In the midst of all this "X-rated activity" and canoodling, I hope that Princess has decided that nesting on the West would be the thing to do this year! If we're expecting her to lay eggs in a couple of weeks, how far ahead should we expect her to get busy and prepare the nest?

Ivy has been making and refining his yo-honking size scrape in the nestbox, so far I haven't seen him doing that anywhere else and can't easily tell if there has been any disturbance of the gravel (amid the jungle of vegetation) on the nestledge. So, so far, so good. Keep your fingers crossed and do the chant ;)

Microchip is only good if you can get to within a few feet of him ... think of Spot at the vet, need to run the scanner right over the chip to get a reading. Band numbers work find so long as he returns.

--- Quote from: The Friesens on April 05, 2010, 19:20 ---Is there any way of finding out if Trey is okay or where he may be? Is there anyway of knowing where the birds go for the winter months?
--- End quote ---
I'm afraid the only way to find out about Trey is if he turns up here or if someone spots him somewhere else. He doesn't have a radio transmitter on him (on a very few do across Canada and the US) so we have to rely on someone being able to read his leg bands. If he turns up here, we will find him easily enough. If he has decided to take a sabbatical then we may see him next year or someone else may read his band on his travels. If he has died and if someone finds his body, then his band number will probably be reported and we will hear about it eventually. If he has been injured, we will hear about it, the band number again will be reported. Chances are though, we will never hear anything about him if he has died, its a long way down and back up again and we have no idea where he travels and most birds are never found.
Saoirse:
Didn't TPC say something last week about a return "within the next two weeks" (from then, of course) would still be within the normal range for Manitoba peregrines? ???
Moonstar:
At what date do we actually give up hope on Trey's return this year? :'(
I just do not want to think the worst.
