Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Last note about naming the chicks ... I think I shan't be naming the individual chicks. (I'll be talking about this in the blog later today just so you all know) Part of our relationship with nature is that we mostly are disconnected/isolated from it. When we do get involved with parts of it, it is rarely dangerous and we remain in control of the situation, which though we think we are "getting back to nature" really isn't, or at least isn't in the context of wildlife. Part of our isolation/disconnection from nature is our desire to have a personal connection with an individual rather than the species. That's a bit of a problem. If we can only see the trees around us, we won't notice when the rest of the forest has been destroyed. If we only protect the trees around us, we are condemning the rest of the forest to be destroyed.
So, naming the dead chicks, which by the way a couple of folks are more than a little "creeped" out about, I'm going to find a middle point. No individual names for the chicks, but rather "The Lost Chicks", which y'all can abbreviate to TLC which is really what naming these chicks is all about isn't it? It has seemed to me that naming these chicks isn't so much for identification but rather in celebration of their short lives. Post humous TLC. I hope you will all approve of my choice.
Have proposed a middle point on the photo on the CBC Falcon Cam page as well, new photo but link to the story below or some such. Will let you all know how it goes.

I hope she's right! Perhaps they were discussing the Nosy Parkers who have invaded their bedroom! lol

We'd have to spend the whole summer just talking about sightings - no eggs, hatching, puffballs, feedings, chick heaps, fledging, weather watches, etc..... :-\ But we do hear your gentle reminders Tracy - it may not happen....... Still hoping though. ;D

Don't give up hope, not yet folks, just don't get your hopes up too high. As for no sightings - you've got sightings now ;D As for no feedings, chick piles, fledgings, crash landings, funnel clouds (had one touchdown in St Andrews just north of the City this morning), we will still be providing reports on the Brandon birds who are just a few days younger than The Lost Chicks.
