West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
Moonstar:
Just got back fromt the West Winnipeg site. I finally got to see the birds playing and touching each others talons. Also saw Nero try to land on top of Beau. Good thing he comes in screeching, it gives Dad a chance to bolt quickly. Think we saw all of them flying around. I don't think I could ever get tired of seeing them flying around. When I left one was sitting on one of the corners out of site from where we were sitting. Not sure where the others were. I guess off hunting, playing or sleeping on the roof.
Enjoyable morning as usual.
Moonstar:
As bccs said the 2 hours of no birds was worth the wait to see them flying about. It was like they came from no where. You could hear them before you could see them. Very vocal bunch.
Great people company also. Wonderful relaxing morning.

Within half an hour, we were joined by 3 others and then finally got to meet WWW. We had a grand time watching the building ::), no birdies to be found anywhere.
Many people came by to talk with us and were so very delighted that the peregrines had nested there this year and have been so successful. Met a couple with two standard poodles and boy oh boy, we learned tons about poodles. Nice dogs and very nice owners. They stayed for about 20 minutes, asked great questions about our family and seemed to be hooked as they were talking about coming back later today or tomorrow and watch for a while.
Still no birdies. :(
Then we see a man on the roof, I said wait for it, and sure enough, within about 45 seconds we heard the yelling and then saw Jules and Beau telling the man to get off THEIR roof..... NOW.. ;D
Never saw the man again, but in come two ( could have been all three for all the circling that was going on ) chicks and they are also dive-bombing and yelling.
They settled down after about 20 minutes and I have to tell you, the two hours of watching with none of them showing up, was worth the twenty minutes of aerobatics.
So all in all, a very nice morning. Lovely birds, great phanatics and so very nice to meet new people.
Thanks ladies for the company today.... :-*
