West Winnipeg - 2011 / Beau & Jules

[Cooper]

Spotted Jules over Portage Avenue this morning at about 6:40 a.m., bothering or being bothered by a crow. Crow looked a bit more frantic than she. Crow took off and Jules, triumphant, swooped up to perch on one of the letters on east side of building.

Well as the sun sets in West Winnipeg...Polo has decided to call it a night and has found comfort on a cinder block on the roof 
One of the adults is perched near by.

I am absolutely ecstatic that Polo is doing so well and that the relocation worked out so well! 

Way to go West Winnipeg Family!  Miss you!

Love hearing all of your funny little Polo updates, TPC! Can almost see him, in my mind's eye.

A few more photos have been added to the WW Banding Gallery.

  I like your description here Tracey!  Sounds like 'lil Polo is quite adventuresome!

  I too, am having a visual about Polo from your description, TPC. Although my visual is the Roadrunner, "Beep, Beep". LOL! Phantastic!

I'm loving these annecdotes about Polo TPC.  Keep 'em coming... along with a little video of his antics...maybe, possibly, pretty please?

Polo the Solo is bored, he's been napping and now his playing/nibbling (more play, less nibble) on the cam cables.  Soon those instincts are going to be used to go after the local bird population!

Oh nuts, there he goes again ... little roadrunner, zip, poof, he's gone. And back again.  Got a little extra energy right now, flapping away, puffaloons blowing in the breeze he's making.  Suspect another sprawl is imminent.

I have a vivid mental picture of Polo running around the roof -- sounds as though he's thoroughly adjusted to (and happy about) his new home! 

[The Peregrine Chick]

Little Polo has come out from under his overhang and is now hanging out in the shade on the north side of the roof.  For whatever reason, he likkes to hang out where the cam cables are attached, something to play with perhaps.  He was sleeping on them last night.  He isn't impressed with the humidity, he keeps finding wide open places to sprawl out to keep warm.  At the moment he's napping upright, I'm sure he'll sprawl soon though.  It would be great if we did have rain today, it would sure cool him off!

Thanks for the good news.  So glad it's all going well so far!

Thanks TPC for all you do here.    :-*I must say I admire you and Dennis for  all your hard work.

So glad you were able to relocate them to a different spot.

I said the same to my husband, why does Tracy have 2 chicks in west Winnipeg?
Then I saw the chick on her shirt, I felt very silly. 

Oh thank goodness I wasn't the only one fooled!

Welcome to the Winnipeg Family Polo!!!  What a cutie patootie!!!  No fierce in that face yet!    Funny story... I was looking at the photos and clicked on the first one of Tracy holding Polo.  My immediate reaction was "Hey, there's 2 chicks, since when are there 2?!  And yet, one looks younger...".  I swear I thought there were 2 chicks until I realized one was the chick on Tracy's tshirt!  LOL.  I had to laugh at myself.  Silly, silly me!  Also noticed the date on the photos... last Tuesday eh?  Kept that little secret from us for awhile didn't 'ya?  I know, you had to wait to make sure the re-nest was OK.  I understand.  So, that makes 6 boys and only 1 girl for Wpg/Brandon.  Funny how it's skewed so much to boys... wonder why?
