TPC have you heard anything about Trey? I often think of him. It would be sweet if Princess and Trey returned. But I also hope no bird gets hurt in territorial fights
Nothing about Trey I'm afraid and its probable we won't hear anything at this point. I too would like to see him again, but the chances of that happening are slim.
As for territorial battles, we have been very fortunate over the years that we haven't had any that have resulted in injured or dead birds. Might be because we don't have that much territory in Winnipeg, or that the city just isn't big enough to support lots of pairs. The Radisson is a favourite for everyone, but the other territories are successful, so while other birds might want the Radisson site, they have other sites nearby but not too nearby.
is this the earliest that the birds have come back?
Madame, the Radisson female before Princess, used to overwinter here, so that we won't count her.
T-Rex, Trey's father came back in February one year. Everyone else has come back in March.
