Manitoba Peregrines > West Winnipeg Peregrines
West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
des:
There are always two or three peregrines in or near their nest area in the half hour around sunset- at least on the usually 4 times a week I go to check. I've never checked in the rainy weather!

And I was in my shorts and t-shirt. ;D ;D ;D

Dennis spotted all three there this morning but I didn't manage to get there before # 3 took off ... I suspect s/he took off for a more sheltered location, though I'm not sure where, couldn't find Jules, Beau or the third chick ... Dennis didn't have his camera, but I did :D

Hard to believe I know, but that is how it was. Actually, he was the smart cookie, it was raining and blowing, I had a sweatshirt on (didn't think to wear a rain jacket in my rush to get out there) and I had on a toque - yes a toque on August 15th - darn near froze my eardrums anyway. Smart Dennis without his camera sat in his van and stayed dry, me, I'm braced against a wet vehicle to counter the wind, holding my hand like an umbrella over the lens of my camera, rain dribbling down the back of my sweatshirt and the wind blowing across the back of my wet neck. Even if he had had his camera, not sure he would have admitted it me ... ;)
