RCF:
About 8:15 this morning the male was perched on north light and he was preening and showing off his legs ::). I can't see close enough with my binocs. The female was perched on east light sunning herself. At lunch I went down to 9th and Rosser half a block from McK bldg. At first I thought I wasn't going to see any birds and then I heard a falcon cacking and I looked up and here were two falcons flying overhead. She was hot on his tail feathers just a yelling at him :o he had prey in his talons and they flew around the MTS tower, then they both went into the nestbox. I heard cacking and chupping for about minute or so and then he flew to the MTS tower, she left the nest a few minutes later and I had to go back to work.
The Peregrine Chick:
No idea Rose, and there really is no way to know without leg band ids I'm afraid ...
Not too worry though, we will get the band numbers soon enough and we will go from there. In the meantime, enjoy the hunt/adventure!!!
Rose:
Just got home and saw your post,at first there were no birds to be seen so I walked around the 2 or 3 blocks near the building checked all sides,no birds. Went back to the parkade and was getting into the car and noticed the two falcons flying in from the north the larger one settled onto a mast on the mts tower but I still couldn't see the bands only yellow feet. Rcf usually checks that mast from the parking lot to the east and may be she can get a picture even if it just shows colors. that's about as close as you can get to the birdie.The other day when we saw these two birds, they were fairly close together their backs looked to be the same colour ( light slate). Hurricane is much darker and by Dennis's photos always looks a little grumpy(just my impression). I guess because she has such a black head and malar stripes. THe other falcon circled around and flew off towards the discovery centre(yum yum ducks and shore birds). ::) So I guess we just keep trying.
do you suppose this might be the falcon we saw about a week before any one else showed up? we only saw it the one afternoon and never saw it again
