If its Fort Whyte, their intentions are very good and everyone will be very happy at FW or if they decide to release them elsewhere, they will choose a good location for the family.

So close to the buildings and on the ground, unlikely the peregrines will take the risk of injuring themselves trying to hunt down low. And if the duck is a mallard, that is really too large for most peregrines, particularly not when there are so many easier things to hunt.

I did managed to see a momma duck and 14 newly hatched ducklings. There is a small garden area surrounded by buildings - it's behind the Rehab hospital (not sure what other buildings. I was talking to the staff who said that she must have made a nest in the greenery. They told me that someone from Ft. Whyte will be coming around tomorrow to pick them up (unless Cowboy & Joli are reading the forum and get to them first :-X)

Ducklings are awfully small and probably not worth the effort ...
