West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
carly:
Good question Shoechick..I actually looked it up and yes they do sometimes eat crows but apparently Goshawks like to eat crows alot more.
ShoeChick:
I've been very quiet with posts on the forum for the past few weeks, but please know that I have been reading with keen interest all the other posts. So nice to see everything progressing smoothly.
I have a question but am not sure if this is the best place to ask. I'll ask anyway, feel free to comment or TPC can move the post where it best belongs.
Does anyone know if Peregrines dine on black crows? I know they eat pidgeon, which we have a lot of in the city, but we also seem to have a lot of black crows. Seems to me that a crow, being larger, would make for a nicer Peregrine meal. However, I always see the crows in groups that can be agressive. Would this make them less desireable? Why risk a fight with crows when Pidgeon fast food is so easy? Just wondering.
Thanks everyone for all the reports on the West Winnipeg nest. Please, keep them coming!

The kids were flying around the building, yelling and landing, flying some more, getting better and better with every flight.
One of the kids, I'm thinking Nero, was taking great delight in trying to land on top of Beau. He did this 3 times and it made me laugh out loud each time. What a bugger. ;D
Saw an adult and a chick do a talon touch in mid-air, had to be a girl.
All in all, a splendid fledge watch morning, lucky, lucky me.
