There are never any hard and fast rules when it comes to Mother Nature lol that much I've learned just in the last few months alone never mind all the years of birdwatching I've done.

That's right close to you isn't it! Nice! When was the last time that territory had any activity? And how large is a territory (approximately)?

Last time we had a breeding pair on this site was 1994, the last year T-Rex nested there with Burnsie before he ditched the wife and went back to his girlfriend Madame on the Radisson.

Regardless of what HWW says, peregrine territories are larger and smaller than 7 km. There is no hard/fast rule on size as it depends on what is in the territory. For urban peregrines it looks like their territories can be larger as they don't include things like parking lots in their calculations, or smaller because they have much more food and more a more constant source of food than in most non-urban territories. On the other hand, the birds in Rankin Inlet nest closer together than anywhere else in the world, it is believe because of the abundance of suitable nest locations and the hyper abundance of food.
In Winnipeg, the Radisson territory seems to run down to about McGillivray and north to the perimeter or beyond. The west Winnipeg territory begins about Polo Park and runs to, you guessed it, the perimeter. The U of M territory runs south from McGillivray to over the open fields south of the City ...

I guess that could be fun. Better than saying I want to come out of the closet, I guess...... :o
