Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess
Pchemist:
I got the note this morning as we all did from Tracy, and was all day traveling. It wasn't until I just now got home I could log on and find out what was happening. I am, along with all of you, devastated. I am also profoundly thankful for all the efforts that were made to save the chicks. In some ways, I think it was a blessing I didn't have to live through it as many of you all did. :'(

It isn't too late for a re-nest, I think we have had one, maybe two, re-nests that were this late, but I don't remember exactly. Trey and Princess have expended alot of their energy and stored resources on producing eggs, incubating and now brooding. I think at this point it will be a question of do they feel they have enough resources to try again and do they think there is enough time left in the breeding season to do so.

Trey did not show up in Winnipeg until a couple of weeks after Princess this year. Does that mean that they migrate to different spots south and then meet back again in the spring? I'm amazed at how they know their way back to the same place after travelling thousands of miles.

When we get reports of our birds down south, it is individual reports so I can't say for sure that they some of our birds haven't travelled together all or part of the way to wherever they go in a particular year. What I can say is that all our birds disappear at different times - usually chicks first and then the adults. With this pair, usually Trey leaves last. As to when they will leave this year, couldn't say. They may re-nest or not. If they don't, this is still their territory and usually the resident pair (both or just one) will continue to occupy the site until the end of the season.

"Pat, thank you for reminding folks that these are wild peregrines and that all we (the Projects and all their fans) can do is support their nesting efforts.
And no worries, the forum, the blog, the Project website and the Falcon Cam site will remain active for a long time yet. There is a possibility that the birds might re-nest, but only time will tell. And given what they have been through so far this year, can any of us blame them if they decided to call it a year?

This is what Tracy posted in the Wild Birds Thread. Just thought I would post it here given the question was initially asked in this thread.
HatchWatcher:
I'm in utter agreement with everyone.... I am sitting here teary-eyed. I was out of the office since 10 local time this morning and came right home to check on them and find the headline that the chicks didn't make it. :'( I'm so sad... we watched these chicks since they were in their eggs. :'(
I do hope Princess and Trey can try again this year.
Like everyone else has said, much thanks to Tracy and our Fire Department for the effort!
