McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
No, they weren't chasing them on the roof, they were watching the camera from inside the building. The birds didn't know they were there, so they weren't stressed or chased. :)

--- Quote from: allikat on July 15, 2012, 02:08 ---So...don't mean to be a party pooper here but, I still need to understand the exercises that takes place beyond our understanding. In my opinion, I consider, for the moment, until peregrine falcons are out of the "species at risk" category, I see peregrine falcon chicks as gifts to our world. Presently, there is more human interaction than before, but, I feel it necessary to provide these raptors an "urban" home, to maintain their survival.
If Manitoba Conservation wants to risk, "tagging/transmitting" a "gift", then, I really need a lesson 101. Sorry folks, but as far as I'm concerned, every hatched peregrine falcon egg, is a gift to this species. So, not too sure why, the Manitoba Conservation, would want to risk that "gift", fledging early, in order to put an transmitter on it. Sorry, don't understand the balance here...risk vs. reward, isn't worth it, especially when it comes to, a, species at risk. I understand the science behind the research, but, when it comes to a species at risk, common sense will overrule, especially, when it comes to, a, "species at risk". I don't get it or understand it, but, in my opinion, why risk a gift? Sometimes, things are more precious than we think!!! Maybe one day, someone, from conservation, will actually explain in great detail, what the word, "conservation", by definition, none scientific, means to "them".

I guess I'm also "A party pooper" because of my reservations about this research right from the beginning.The Peregrine Falcon Recovery Program is not part of it .TPC is there only to advise and make sure the falcons are safe but the Researcher and Conservation call the shots and don't have to take her advice so it seems that she is between a Rock and a Hard place.On Friday I was down on the street when Researcher came from up top and asked Dennis to stay on the street and watch because they were going to try and catch the female if she should become separated from the male, she could probably be easily caught,so that is the reason viewers were treated to such good viewing all afternoon. I finally came home at 3:00pm and caught some good viewing.Sol fledged between 12:30 and 1:00 and the camera finally stopped following the chicks sometime shortly after 4:00pm. I guess you could say "It was a Mexican Standoff from 11:00am to after 4;00pm" seems the Chicks won.

So does that mean they were up there chasing those poor chicks in this heat for 5 hours. I think that is horrible. Those poor little chicks hearts must have been just pounding and the parents must have been so stressed. Sol's fledge could have been so much worse, luckily he was okay. I may be wrong but that sounds very cruel. All this just to put things on the birds that do not belong. These are wild birds and they should be able to fly free without man made things attached to them. This is my opinion and I hope I am able to post it here.
