McKenzie Seeds - 2009 / Zeus & Hurricane
BirdLover:
Only one kid holding down the fort tonight! It is so beautiful here that the others were probably off hunting or playing. The one that was there was rather large so am thinking it's one of the girls.
She did a little bit of soaring around the McK building and was keeping those stoopid pigeons on their toes. Other than that, very quiet. Except for the concert in the park ;D

The McKenzie Seeds Building was used initially in 1990 as a hack site but the nestbox was installed on the building as well since it was such a perfect location for peregrines. The first wild nest was in 1993 when they had one female chick and then they added a male captive-bred foster chick. After that we pretty much had 4 chicks every year, give or take a couple of years with only 3! We have had 5 pairs in Brandon I believe ... Mufasa & B1, Mufasa & Phoebe (our big producers), Zeus & Holly, Screech & Holly (no slouches in the producing department either) and now Zeus & Hurricane. I think that was all of them but will check to be sure ...
