McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
Bccs was here on business this morning so Rose and I went for breakfast with her, it was nice seeing her. :) We went to the parkade and didn't see any falcons. :( When we drove down 10th street we saw a falcon perched and eating on the west side of the McKenzie roof, so we stopped to look. ;D 8) After bccs left, we went around to the east side and Hurricane was having brunch, then she flew over to the communications tower and perched.
The Peregrine Chick:
Hurricane and Brooklyn were cute to watch at shift change at 0525h today. She was on as she usually is overnight, then she took off, he turned up and looked around, parked himself on the eggs for a couple of minutes then she came back, initially not to get on the eggs, then he left, she moved in. After about a minute she was off again and he turned up a few minutes later and parked himself on the eggs again. Then he got off to check something (her I think) and then back on the eggs again.
Its 0837h now and Hurricane has taken over from Brooklyn again ...
Kinderchick:
Wonderful article about Hurricane & Brooklyn and the history of the Brandon peregrine falcons. Thanks for posting the link, rcf! :)

Reading through the article I see some of the information is not correct. It says Zeus is Brooklyn's father when in fact he is his uncle. Keener-Screech was Brooklyn's father.

You are correct RCF but the reporter talked to me for a very long time and had lots (and lots) of questions and given the family trees in this province :o, uncle, father, not such a huge faux-pas! The rest of the article looks great and it's nice to have more coverage for Hurricane and Brooklyn!! ;D

We submitted both the photos - the webcam capture doesn't look half bad and of course Dennis' photos never look "bad" ;D
