McKenzie Seeds - 2010 / Brooklyn & Hurricane

[RCF]

I saw two peregrines today, one this morning around 11am.      It was flying quite low heading south over the parking lot where I work towards the McK building......only three blocks away.  The other one was perched on the Scotia bank bldg around 3:30 this afternoon.  I am not really sure if I was seeing one or two different falcons.

Today I watched Hurricane having a pigeon snack on the north west corner of the McKenzie roof.     She flew over to the mts tower for a while and then flew off to the north until I couldn't see her anymore with my binoculars.  I have only been seeing one falcon for the past week, I suspect Brooklyn may have gone south. 

Or gone west or north or south to wetlands for a pre-migratory feast.  Not much movement of peregrines at the migration sites, so probably not left yet, ours tend not to leave particularly early ... with the chicks "gone", the adults don't necessarily hang out at the nestsite, Brandon does leave earlier than the Radisson most years, but not usually quite this early ...

Isn't it a bit early for one to leave? Of course, maybe the chill in the air had something to do with it. I just worry about the oil spill, sounds like it's worse than first indicated. If only there were some way to tell our birds to avoid that area.

I suspect Brooklyn may have gone south. 

Smart girl - traveling early to get first pick of the prime spots and avoiding the rush.

Saw somebirdie on the MTS tower yesterday morning.  I think it was our girl as it was more brown than grey.

So glad to hear that you are at least still seeing one of the birds around, BirdLover and Rcf!

We'll just have to look forward to the next season, RCF, and hope for fewer accidents.  It will come sooner than we think!

A birdies' gotta do what a birdies' gotta do rcf. Nice that you still have one hanging around.

Thanks RCF.
 It is that time of year when  we know they will leave soon. always so quiet and somber.

I saw our birdies this morning, one on the south light and the other on the west one, also saw Hurricane perched on mts tower later this afternoon.      I check everyday and some days I don't see them.

Saw a birdie this morning on the north light.    This afternoon (2:30) Hurricane was perched on the east louvered ledge and Brooklyn was on the west louvered ledge on the north side of the Scotia Bank building...

Saw a birdie this morning on the north light.    This afternoon (2:30) Hurricane was perched on the east louvered ledge and Brooklyn was on the west louvered ledge on the north side of the Scotia Bank building.  I think it's the best place to stay cool and out of the sun.   It was very hot today.......wonder if they get a breeze through those louvers?
