West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
The Peregrine Chick:
1620 hrs (local) - food fight in the nestbox. The two girls aren't playing well with their food. Aggie had it first, Annie wanted it and neither one is willing to let go - Aggie is currently tyring to pull it out of the box and therefore away from Annie. I think they are also worried that Nero might find out they have treats ... no sign of him on-camera so they make finish it off before he realizes what he's missing ...

Great description, TPC! That is exactly what it looks like!
The Peregrine Chick:
1600 hrs (local) - two of the chicks are lying on their bellies on the corner of the building at the nestbox - they are lying nose to nose ... can't tell who they are as all three chicks are about the same size.

Good news, WWW! :D
The Peregrine Chick:
Report from WWW from yesterday ...
Today it is windy at West Winnipeg. I did not spot any of our birds this morning but did get to see one of the kids flying around this afternoon.
It was around 2pm when I ped by; I again didn't spot anyone on the roof or on any of the usual ledges or perches. After a few minutes of watching I did see one of the kids flying circles quite high up in the sky. You can see that the flyers are much stronger and more confident by the day, and they now go much higher than before. I've also noticed that the effects of the wind are now much less visible, and that they fly her distances from the nest than they did at first.
