Ah... lots of things to consider, more than just the temperature. :)

Why would they be migrating sooner than last year, TPC, when the weather is still so warm? ???

The weather is warm but check out the light and the air today, its very much a fall day even though we here in Winnipeg are forecasting temps in the high 20Cs. And the trees are dropping their leaves and the acorns have been falling in huge numbers and very very fast. Nature knows what we do not. The peregrines leave not because of the temperatures, we know they can/do survive Winnipeg winters if they want to - Madame was here from 1990 to 2004 year round. They are moving because prey species are moving and because their hardwiring has picked up on some trigger - jet stream maybe, change in prevailing winds, angle of the light, ozone levels in the air, something.

The Peregrine Chick:
Juliet and Lilith have taken off from the hack site. They've head north and west in fact, about 100km north and west in fact. And yes, they are still together, and I would suspect they will stay together for at least a while longer. Will be interesting to see how long they stay together - neat if they migrated with each other but we'll just have to wait and see.
Alot of peregrine movement at the US migration sites which could mean everyone is going to bolt sooner than last year.

Are they still being fed the quail or are they doing their own hunting now, TPC? :-\
