What great names, all in honour of someone, some place, or occasion.

Next year might be different, depends on where they nest.  There are always possibilities, just not every year or in every location!!

I know we are not to know where in W Winnipeg they are but is it safer then Portage Avenue?

Safer in most ways, more difficult to fledgewatch however because of the surrounding environment - more space, lower buildings.   There is still vehicle traffic, but it ain't the same as downtown!!  More like Brandon is someways, safer than Brandon in others. 

Does that help?

Oh ya, names - Nero, Annie & Aggie.  Dennis will have photos of the bands/colours and names on his photo gallery this week - we'll post the link here ...

Nero - in honour of Bob Nero who started the project 30 years ago and who was responsible for the first releases in the provinces in 1981 coincidentally (or maybe not) from another building elsewhere in the West Winnipeg territory.  Bob was also the reason I got involved in the project 20 years ago.  The name is also in honour of the Bob's wife, Ruth, who passed away just recently - sometimes we forget that for everyone who works with peregrines as we do that there is usually someone at home making sure our lives don't go completely off the rails in our fixation with the birds!

Annie - in honour of this the Project's thirtieth anniversary

Aggie - the first releases in Winnipeg back in 1981 were from the old Agricultural College Campus

Demon # 1 wandered down the roofedge ledge and out of camera range last night just before sunset.  Caught sight of him (I think its "him) just before it got too dark roaming around exploring on the roof proper.  This morning, the girls followed his lead and the box has been empty and quiet all day.  Occasional parent, but not for long.

Suspect we will see him/them again on camera just before they fledge ... him I suspect weekend, early next week as he'll be 40 days old on Monday.  Girls should go on/before the August long weekend.

I guess there is a big fear that hundreds of people with go in droves to the location and bother the residents.  

Funny though .. everyone knows where the "Radisson Family" are and the Radisson isn't bothered by Hundreds of Falcon Watchers.
