McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
Which roof? ??? If you mean the McKenzie roof, because you probably can't see the clock tower roof with cam, they eat prey up there and Hurricane likes to sit at the bottom of the clock tower, especially when they have chicks. We never see them perched on the lower roof ledges or parapets, they could but I have never seen them perched there. When Zeus was here, he liked to perch on the black ledge on the east side where the cam can't see.

The Peregrine Chick:
Lots of in and out of the nestbox between 0600 and 0730 this morning, mostly by him though she was parked on the roof first thing. Head bowing session in the box just after 0600 bit gloomy because its overcast and a bit early but I'll down load the video anyway and post it later today.
RCF & Rose - how often did you see the birds sit on the roof in past years?
Will post links to new videos when they are available.

Oh the perch is great - very solid wood and longer than the last one - and it has, I guess its a "knob" at the end - you know the kind of thing that's on rakes so it doesn't slide through your hands. I have visions of it stopping chicks from pushing each other off the end since I think that pole can accomodate a family of four on it. I hadn't found anything nearly that good but Dennis did!

I can tell you about 2009 (4)and 2010(2) that the chicks before they fledged had a wonderful time on the bar, they would wingersize like mad and make the bar bounce up and down till I thought it would break and when they got more daring they would hop,fly,jump from the bar to the top of the nest box it was amazing ;D. Last year we didn't see that because they were on the floor.
