McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
The Peregrine Chick:
No eggs in the nestbox yet but Hurricane is parked on the front (east-facing) edge of the nestbox in the pale morning sun - bit overcast in Brandon right now it seems ...
The Peregrine Chick:
And for our out-of-province phanatics, it's not been "sunny Manitoba" for the last few days and it looks like Hurricane and Brooklyn will have to tolerate cool wet weather for a bit longer :'(
Today - Cloudy with 40 percent chance of showers this morning and early this afternoon. Clearing this afternoon. Fog patches developing early this morning and dissipating late this morning. High plus 5.
Tonight - Clear. Increasing cloudiness after midnight. Low minus 3.
Thursday - Mainly cloudy. Clearing late in the afternoon. High 7.
Friday - Sunny. Low minus 4. High 9.
On that depressing-ish note, looking at the long-term fortune-telling, Brandon does look to have more sunny weather than Winnipeg over the next couple of weeks.

Great video. Who knew that building a scrape is a bit like making an angel in the snow.

However, Hurricane has spent a huge amount of time on the box edges today. Brooklyn goes in and out frequently but she likes to just sit and today she has been sitting on the box edge in the rain for hours. Specifically, she is in the north side of the box, that's the side closest to the camera, the corner with the angled edge to the roof so no protection for her from the rain. Didn't seem to faze her, she just stayed there and napped. Could be that two weeks is all these two need ...
