It's grey here to,not so windy, the sun keeps trying to peek out but don't think it's gonna have much luck. Quiet here, I'm almost bored lol
The Peregrine Chick:
Today's weather sucks, but at least it sucks because the good stuff is right on its tail and we should have at least 4 days of great weather after it!
Princess and Trey are still on the Hotel, usually later in the day, but still the cutest couple in downtown Winnipeg. Larry and I decided to be optimistic and proactive and we went to test out the camera we installed on the nestbox many many months ago just to be sure that we could use it to spy on the nestbox if a miracle should happen in the next couple of days. Camera works like a dream though I will need to clean up the lens a bit if we ever have to use it - its gotten a wee bit dusty from lack of use! With all the rain we have had over the last 24 hours, the box is dry as a bone which I think will be appealing to the birds if they do pull an egg out of the hat, so to speak. It would be nice to be able to fire up the CBC server again but that will be up to Princess and Trey ...
The Peregrine Chick:
Its a reasonable question Moonstar, and the answer is yes the chicks would have time before migration, but only just. That's the other reason for being pretty sure that if we don't have a renest by Canada Day, then we aren't going to have one this year. They may be hardwired to reproduce, but they know when its too late in the year.
Don't get me wrong, the chances of them renesting now are very very slim.
Moonstar:
If by some miracle Princess and Trey do re-nest, do the chicks have a chance to be strong enough and mature enough for their migration flight in the fall?
Normally the chicks would be close to fledging in a few weeks. If they were to re-nest, and by the time they incubate and the eggs hatch and the chicks grow it would be near the end of summer when they would be ready to fledge. That only gives them a month and a bit to learn to hunt and get strong enough at flying to make a long trip to some where warmer for the winter.
Just some thoughts, questions and concerns.
As much as I would love to see some chicks this year, I do not want to hear that anymore do not make it.
