West Winnipeg - 2011 / Beau & Jules
Moonstar:
:) Wonderful to finally have some news on Beau & Jules. Lets just hope the two eggs hatch.
The Peregrine Chick:
We have finally managed to access the West Winnipeg site and found Beau and Jules incubating four eggs - two of which were damaged beyond hatching. The remaining two looked okay in a quick visual survey but we will have to wait and see what happens. We installed a nest tray to protect the remaining two eggs and cameras to monitor the site since access is difficult. Neither Beau nor Jules have had any problems with the nest tray and so far the two damaged eggs have been discarded and the two undamaged eggs continue to be incubated. When will they hatch, perhaps about June 10th but we don't know for sure since we aren't sure when incubation began. So a real waiting game here!

They seem to be always on guard which isn't good for their stress levels at this site. We will defintely be keeping them off here next year!

That is too bad. I wonder what would make them pick a site that they did not feel secure at. Maybe they had to quickly , to get eggs laid.
HOpe all turns out well. :-*
