I selfishly want to keep our birds in the wild, so I don't post specifics unless we no longer need to worry about the bird (ie, it has died) anymore. Hope that makes sense ...

Absolutely, it makes a lot of sense.
It's horrible to realize anything posted on the forum could be used for nefarious purposes!

Okay now I'm quoting in double... Have just come back from holidays, my apologies to all. :-\
Totally agree! A very wise decision.

Makes a lot of sense, TPC! Although I love to hear anything about where our birds are, especially once they head south, I'd rather hear fewer specifics and know that they're safe! ;)

--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on August 02, 2012, 14:39 ---McDermot has already been travelling out of the City according to his transmitter, so likely too are all his sibs. They fledged at the end of June and usually offspring hang out for 6-8 weeks after fledging before heading out on their own. We occasionally see a chick or two later in the fall before migration but most leave the City and that's the last we see of them for the year.

I am assuming the researcher is being more forth coming about the whereabouts of all the chicks with transmitters this year. I think that is good news for all of the forum members because I am sure we are all interested, we didn't get a lot of info last year about Rain and Rosser before they migrated. :)

That was probably my fault RCF - until the birds started moving out of the area immediately around Brandon, I didn't post anything since they kept coming back to the nestsite and your reports and Rose's were more interesting. When they did leave, they moved very fast out of the area and that's when I posted their locations. There is also a delay on the locations - both because the information is downloaded at regular intervals (only a couple times a week) and then I hold it until I am sure they chicks have moved on. We spend alot of effort to keep them safe at the nestsites and since we have information on them en-route, I am trying to do the same thing - remember, birds can be taken from the wild on migration in other places in Canada and in the USA. I selfishly want to keep our birds in the wild, so I don't post specifics unless we no longer need to worry about the bird (ie, it has died) anymore. Hope that makes sense ...
