McKenzie Seeds - 2010 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
Yes, our visit was waaaay too short, and it was great to see bccs again! ;D And you'll never guess what we were talking about.........well maybe you will, FALCONS of course! :-* ;D
I had a couple of co-workers ask me who was that, so I told them they were just a couple falcon phanatics like me! ;D :-*
bccs:
RCF and Rose, thanks for making an intense, tough trip fun. :-*
carly:
Thanks for the encouraging post TPC. That was my first thought too about how P&T recovered and came back the next year better than ever. I hope it will be that way for this pair too. :-*
The Peregrine Chick:
Don't worry about the birds, they will go back to the tower, this is far from the first time workmen have been on the rooftops around the building. All of our pairs have lots of traffic on rooftops around their nests, its a function of urban nestsites and I have never seen a bird give up on a favoured perch unless its actually removed. He may not be on the tower as much because he doesn't have to defend the nestbox, he isn't as focussed on the tower OR he could be spending more time closer to Hurricane to reaffirm their pair bond - we've seen on a number of sites with failed nests over the last couple of years and it isn't unusual for the pair to start courting each other again - helps to solidify their pair bond. And since they don't have chicks to provide for, as hard as that sounds, Hurricane and Brooklyn get to spend their time replenishing the resources they expended producing/providing for/protecting Mac and Kenzie - they have used up alot of their personal resources this year. When it happened to Trey & Princess in 2008, they were back fast and had three healthy, smart chicks (Ty, Tupper & Vesper) the next year, so its a good bet that is what could happen next year.

--- Quote from: Kinderchick on August 04, 2010, 11:22 ---So glad to hear that you and rcf had a visit with another Winnipeg peregrine phanatic, bccs, Rose! :D And nice to hear your report regarding Brooklyn & Hurricane... I was looking back at the July Brandon thread and I noticed that rcf spoke of some workmen climbing the tower on July 22nd. Is this the same tower that you are speaking about and if so, have they been working on installing the new equipment since then? What buliding is this tower on? I can't remember. :-\ I don't think it's the MacKenzie Seed Bldg. Is it the building to the right of the MacKenzie Seed Bldg., when looking at it from the parkade? :-\

Yes this is the same tower, it's on the old MTS building which is directly across the street from the McK building,and there have been workmen there off and on ever since.
I guess we talked pretty fast, seemed to cover a lot of territory in the 20mins we had with BCCS, it was good to see her again.
