If we post that one of the chicks is at point A, we have no idea if someone will take that information and use it inappropriately. Remember the bounty put on Lily the black bear in Minnesota with a radio collar?
Having said that, I would still like to be able to safely post updates on the Brandon kids' travels, so we will all just have to wait and see ...

TPC, I'll be interested to hear anything you can share, whenever you can share it safely. I don't need to know where the birds are at a given moment (which, as you've pointed out, could put them at risk) but it would be intriguing to learn where they'd been once they're safely somewhere else!

That's the greatest farewell ever, Birdlover! Lucky you!! ;D

Wednesday evening was my last evening in Brandon and I was downtown. It was about 6:40 when I heard that very distinct sound that Peregrine's make and when I looked up I saw three of them circling around the McKenzie Seeds building.
What a nice send off. Was a great sight for me as I won't be seeing them again. :'(
The Peregrine Chick:
The satellite research project isn't just one person, so sharing the data isn't one person's decision - and there is a question of intellectual property rights which when you are working towards a PhD is a big deal as you can probably imagine. They do know that the Project would like to know what is going on with the chicks and that we would like to be able to share some of that information with the public. At the moment not much to report as the birds really haven't gone far beyond their natal areas.

I had forgotten that your babies out there have "antennae" so that they can be "spied" on. So easy to forget such things. I do suppose they will let us know about them now and again. If not there will be a few disappointed forum watchers to be sure. Our weather has been so beautiful that it has been wonderful for the young'uns to get all their flying skills honed. Sure is going to be a long winter for all of us when we no longer have sightings. Australia here we come!!! Thanks for all the pics RCF and all the posts from both you and Rose. :-* Ciao

I would expect we won't hear much about Rain and Rosser's whereabouts until the researcher is finished doing her research and writes her paper for her thesis. I am sure there are protocols they need to follow and may take a couple of years before we hear anything. So Ellie, we will probably be disappointed and I am not so keen on knowing what their fate may or may not be. I am just happy to be seeing them now before they migrate south.
