Mother Hen:
the metal looking building across from the parking lot at the Winnipeg Convention centre is a favorite spot for one of the brids....I have seen him/her there quite often. I don't know the name of the building but it hasa a go Jets sign on it and the building is under repairs....
birdcamfan:
I asked Tracy about PF's going to the ground a couple of years ago and she said they generally don't.

Never heard of a peregrine falcon doing that, irenekl. As far as I understand, they catch their prey in mid air and then take it to a very high up location to prepare and/or stash it for later. But TPC would know the answer to your questions, for sure.

I can tell you I have seen a lot of untouched dead birdies, like Sora Rails and Killdeer (dropped prey) on the ground around the McKenzie site. So my guess is they probably will not retrieve it and go looking for more.

Good idea! ;D
