I belong to another forum and that is what we decided to call her. I go to see her every second day. She has not left for migration yet. I get all the migration results form the biologist also.
We are wondering if the transmitter is affecting their return as they come back so much later than the rest???

Thank you for the news on the female with the transmitter, Bev. She has been one of my favourites since I first started watching the cam in its first year. Miss Edmonton is a much better name for her than "Homeless". She is a beauty, and she deserves to have her own nest. Are there any other nest boxes in the Edmonton area that she might use?
Interesting question about the transmitters - there could be so many factors involved in their return, I think it would be difficult to know for sure.

That really is interesting. Do other locations with transmitter carrying falcons have the same findings?

Happy to hear that Miss Edmonton is still alive and well. I hope she finds a new mate and has some wee ones next year. At the very least I hope her and Radisson don't have a run in next year..talons crossed that both will have mates and nestboxes.
I'm glad the Fort Sask male also found a new mate and nestbox, that is very encouraging. I always read that they just end up being part of the floater population and I don't like to hear that..I like your ending better :D

I was out at Helens where the 2 chicks foster chicks form your nest came from. They were sent back to Helen and they wee put back with the adults. Unfortunately when I was there that was the one area I could not see because at that point they do not want to disturb th parenting process.
I could e-mail her and ask her where they ended up.

Do the Manitoba falcons migrate??
there is also a transmitter on a male from Fort Saskatchewan. he lost his original nest box this year but he ended up mating with a female not far off on a trestle bridge where there is also a nest box,. Peter and I went out to see it and there were 2 chicks there. I have pictures somewhere.

From my vantage point, zero sightings over the last couple of days......will keep you posted!
