Moonstar:
Tracy, maybe you have answered this before and if you did sorry for repeating the question.
Has Trey ever not come back to Winnipeg before? Has he ever taken a year off before?
The Peregrine Chick:
1043 hrs - and now everyone has vamoosed ... will check again later ...
The Peregrine Chick:
1014 hrs - Princess is still on the ledge, Ivy is off somewhere doing peregrine-only-knows-what!

--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on April 04, 2010, 02:35 ---Sorry, should have been clearer - the key word in the sentence is "generally". Most peregrine don't live into their teens, heck half don't make it to their first year. Most that do make it to year 2 don't make it past 10 years old. That applies for males and females. Oldest bird in the wild is I believe a male who made it to 19 years plus some months I believe. Survivorship for Falcon peregrinus anatum is about 80% per year after second year. That means that at year 10, 11% of all the birds hatched that same year are still alive, at year 20, only 1% are still alive. Median age is 4.5 years for both genders. Most of our breeding birds last a wee bit longer than that.
All of our Manitoba-hatched birds breeding outside the province are female. Our Manitoba-hatched males have only been found nesting in Manitoba, none outside the province. We have had some captive-bred males released from Manitoba that have gone on to nest elsewhere, but not males hatched in Manitoba, or none that we have had reported to us.

All I can say is, our wild-hatched chicks have some great genes!

no heat sensors and no common sense either (at least for me ;)) should have been napping with the birdies ...
