West Winnipeg - 2012 / Beau & Jules
The Peregrine Chick:
Looked like Jules on the Bleachers this morning but no sign of her companion that I could see either at the Bleachers or the Diner ...

Only sightings of an individual bird - could be Smiley being ever-hopeful or Jules maintaining her hold on the territory. The weather hasn't been conducive for up-close-and-personal courting behaviour (head-bowing etc at the nestsite) so maybe the infrequent sightings have been the courting aerial flights. Having said that, from the behaviour we have seen, and others haver reported here, I suspect that Jules may be giving Beau some more time to return like Princess did in Trey in 2009. We aren't getting close to the birds and the nestsites in this bad weather though - too much disturbance and its still early days yet in the nesting cycle so we can't report any new scrapes in the nestboxes yet.

Dang, too bad there is still working going on. It would have been nice to have them nest somewhere safer.

Ahh, that might explain it - but its nice to know she hasn't forgotten about the site OR that Smiley likes the look of it ....
