Thanks, Rose, for confirming that.

The Peregrine Chick:
The wind is up significantly from the last week or more, and the West Winnipeg site is very affected by the winds. Two of the chicks are at the nestsite (though just out of view of the cameras :'() but Nero is off adventuring somewhere. Found him again last night just where I left him, but he wasn't around this morning. Hunted for him a few hours this morning but no luck. Now the temps are going up (its 32 with the humidex at 1100hrs CDT) and the winds increasing and getting gustier and the two chicks at the nestsite haven't moved all morning - they are tucked down low out of the wind. Heck even Jules & Beau weren't flying. So I've given up on the hunt for now, will go back out later in the day and try again. He was a smart cookie yesterday and found himself a quiet, sheltered, shaded spot, so I'm sure he'll do the same again today. He can fly, so who knows, next time I'm out he may have worked his way back and up to the nestsite like the Radisson chicks did.
Will keep an eye on the cams and keep you all in the loop.
