--- Quote from: des on July 28, 2010, 21:44 ---Do the young peregrines/ fledglings ever fly at night or much into the dusk? It seemed that in the morning the Radisson chicks would fledge and or take off often at first light. Oops I just remembered one of them took off in the evening. Was it still light? I'll look back.

The West Winnipeg chicks have been very civilized in their flying, they wait until it is light. Most birds won't fly in the dark (nocturnal species notwithstanding) though some resident peregrines have been observed hunting by city light pollution or raiding their caches to feed hungry chicks in the pre-dawn hours.

Definitely feels that way at times!!

That's a first for me. I'm going to assume duck, as too small for goose. Maybe Princess is following Tracy to the marsh (swamp) and is a little jelous of her other "friends".

The Peregrine Chick:
Here's a post from yesterday from WWW:
Squawk, squawk squawk!
I didn't have many chances to check on our West Winnipeg family today due to a veterinary emergency at home. I did manage to check in around 11am and although I couldn't see anyone from my vantage point, boy oh boy could I ever hear them!!! I don't know what the excitement was all about but can only think that it was feeding time for the three amigos. I have not yet witnessed a feeding but think, based on what BCCS said in her posts, that this must have been what was going on.
Sheesh - and I thought human children were noisy!
allikat:
Very happy to know that the kids and parents are doing well!!! VERY HAPPY!! :)
bccs:

Kinderchick:
