Saoirse:
So good to hear about the WW fledglings -- well fed and acing the flying, can't ask for much more than that!  8)

Thanks for this wonderful update, TPC! :-* So glad to hear that these 3 appear to be doing so well.

Cooper:
Mom and dad doing fine too. Saw them both on the diner, south side letters, this morning at 8:00 a.m. Both were preening in the morning sun.

The Peregrine Chick:
Report on the kids .... they are all fine.  They all took their first flights shortly after we left them last Wednesday.  Didn't think they would go the same day but they did and they all managed to to stay off the ground.  And they all made it back to the hack site for their first post-fledging, post-hack meal which they finished off pretty darn quick.  Hungry work this flying stuff  ;)

Since then, via their transmitters, we have been able to see that none of them are straying far from the hacksite which means they know where food is which is good.  Often a chick will "bolt" away and get too far away from the hack site to know how to get back for food.  Not the case with these three, they are making short hops improving their flight skills but their base of operations is still the hack site which is great.  And they have learned how to perch on poles already!  That's a bit like being able to land on the Radisson sign for a fledgling - takes a good eye and a bit of nerve the first time.  All good signs that the West Winnipeg chicks are progressing nicely!

Sounds like they were playing "good peregrine / bad peregrine"  ;)

Thanks for the updates!
