Well it's that time of year, the first Peregrine chicks have been banded and we have 2 more nest site to band...which means that you will be receiving a number of Peregrine photos over the summer mixed with Osprey just for a change...along with anything else that fly's.
Each location provides a different set-up for photographing...and each pair react differently when you enter their nesting area. As all birds appear to look the same until you have a close look...each bird has identifying marks and call.
This is now the fun part of the year...hope you enjoy.
Anyone wishing to be added to my photo list can email me...it's just that simple.
Cheers !
Dennis
ps. it's also fun prepping frozen nest boxes and removing meal remains from the season before in March...

Thank you so much for the update, Tracy!!! I was so afraid I had missed some catastrophe! It is wonderful to know that all three Manitoba publicly monitored sites are doing so well, and one of the besttimes of my day is when I check in on them!

It has been alot of fun following the Raddison and Brandon sites but little has been posted about this one, perhaps due to the ned to keep the location secure and undisturbed. Cathy

Not much news but so far it is all good from what we can see. The chicks have hatched, we know three for sure, but we have to wait until they are a wee bit bigger to confirm that the fourth has hatched as well because of the camera/lighting angles. When the chicks are banding age, we are planning to move them to a safer location like we did last year. Until then, we are just watching and waiting. And if something does happen (knock on wood it doesn't) then we will post it here.
