The Peregrine Chick:
Okay, mass answer post ...
Wild - yes, downtown Winnipeg is wild. Differentiation is natural and urban habitats. Both have different hazards, equally deadly. Assistance from humans not necessarily of great help. Non-interference from humans (ie: not getting run over by a Hummer) IS a great help.
Captivity - includes birds hatched and/or raised in captivity and wild birds (chicks or adults) injured and unreleasable. Can be any age.
Life Expectancy - 15.5, not the average for most adult peregrines in the wild. Maximum life expectancy perhaps, depends where they are getting their numbers and what they are including.
Naming the Chicks - keep in mind that even in the photos, you all will never be able to tell one from another at the age and stage we lost them at. Can't even be sure of their gender based on size at this age. Naming them will be an abstract concept ... or you could choose something like "the Lost Chicks" and refer to them as a cohort rather than be unable to identify them individually by name. Just a thought. As for naming any future chicks, that will fall under the "choose a theme for the names" and then we'll have a contest to name them from a select group of names that fit the bill. And no, we will not be even considering names before we have eggs let alone chicks.

I sure don't envy her having to catch up on everything every night. I know it takes me more than an hour, and I get online at least three hours before she does -- way more chat, since I don't shut up! lol

Sitting in my tree shivering with trepidation, so much so the branches are shaking too.
From the Peregrine Chick (call me Sandbox Goddess): yeah, I can see the branches moving there Eagle

Are the birds together in the winter months or do they winter separately and find their way back to gether in the spring? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but enquiring minds......

It appears from all the satellite and band date collected that rarely do the pairs travel together outside the breeding season. Siblings in the first year I believe do do it a bit more frequently.
