Manitoba Peregrines > U of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta
U of Alberta - 2011 / ? & Radisson
The Peregrine Chick:
Thanks for the update Bev, looks like Radisson, Ivy and Hurricane all have the same reticience to leave their territories at this time of the year.
Just to confirm, the U of A male's band number has been changed to K over 97? If I have this right, are you wanting to refer to this male by his band number or have you another name you would like to use or is being used by the Edmonton watchers? I know your biologists generally refer to your birds by band numbers. Let me know and I'll update the subject line for this year and hopefully he'll be back next year ...
bev.:
just a quick report.
As of Tuesday, Oct4 , we had 2 adults still on site. Radisson and probably the new one year old male.
I am saying only probably becasue on thursday Sept29, 2011, Gord released our dad in southern Alberta. He came on strong the last 2 weeks of September and was flown on a line. they flew him free about Sept 23rd and he looked good. Once they got hi back they fattened him up on wild duck and drove down to Southern Alberta and released him. So hopefully he headed for migration but he could have come back. When Peter and I checked Wed and Thursday evening we only saw one tucked in. they turn in earlier and earlier before migrating.
I could not go down any earlier the last few days but will head out shortly and stay till dark hopefully.
check out Weber for some news there.
Just editing to add that Gordon changed his band to K97(K over 97)
I will try and do a wrap up report with pictures after Thanksgiving.
I will post a picutre of dad in a few.
Kinderchick:
Sounds like a wonderful vacation for you bev. I'm sure that Elaine will give us updates of your birds, as she sees/hears anything. Enjoy your time away. :)
bev.:
Thanks Kinderchick and Bcbird.

We are going to a B and B at Sooke first and then up island to my dads at Duncan and my brothers at Cowichan Bay. It is a trek we do every year. We love traveling the in September.
Hopefully I will get my picutres posted when I get back.
