My friend in RD is the moderator for the Ustream forum and she posted on her fb page on Monday that a falcon was spotted that day...

Hope this helps.  :D


There appears to be a falcon sitting on the outside on the landing right now.  ;)

2012 NESTING SEASON

Ustream webcam is up and running but I can't see any evidence of the birds at the site.  There are also no 2012 updates on the Red Deer Naturalists website so looks like Alberta is still peregrine-free at this point ...

Yes, it's a good safe site there!  When Tiny decided to fledge before his bigger brother he didn't quite make it and landed inside the compound.  The best place he could have landed as the whole thing is fenced in.  He eventually made his way up the tower section by section and all was OK.

There's a short vid of Tiny flying!  So cool to see a young one in the air!  8)

Wow! That's wonderful, BirdLover. Isn't it exciting to see other nest sites?! ;D

I was in Red Deer today and was invited to go see the nest at the Telus tower.  Went there mid afternoon and was privileged to see the parents both bring fresh kill.  Neither of them took them to the nest box but did proceed to clean and devour them about half way up the tower.
 
I believe it was the female who brought the second catch and it was huge.  :o You could see her labouring to bring it to the tower. 

I was so pleased to be able to see another site and will definitely try to see as many other sites as I can in my travels.   ;D

I will have to look for that commercial. Have had no T.V. time in awhile.

They are really trying to work on public awareness.

The hubby was watching TV and the sound of peregrines kakking grabbed my attention, so went to check it out. There was a commercial on for Alberta Conservation and they were talking about the cams they install and showed the nest box for Red Deer.  And bev, your biologist Gord Court was in the commercial. 8)
