West Winnipeg - 2009 / Ivy & Jules
The Peregrine Chick:
Dennis and I chased the little darlings around West Winnipeg for more than a couple of hours yesterday. They weren't in any the spots we expected and in all spots we had hoped against. The Winnipeg peregrines (all of them) owe me big time this year. On Friday both birds were together so we knew they hadn't started incubating but perhaps they had started laying. On Saturday, we watched and watched and watched, in part because the watching was so good, cool but not fridgid (nice change), breeze not windy (nice change), sunny not overcast (very nice change for Dennis) and with clear sight lines (very nice for all of us). Jules really is one of the prettier females we have had in the province. Anywho, Ivy came through briefly before bombing off to who knows where to kill who knows what - no other reason for that kind of departure. And Jules stopped, dropped and rolled out of sight and was gone until after we left. Sooooo, it looks like she's at the very least laying, perhaps starting to incubate. That puts the West Winnipeg birds 10 days/2 weeks behind the Radisson birds as a guestimate. Now we have to get access to the site, confirm a nest, scope out access & options then plan, plan, plan.
We will of course keep you all updated and if we go public with the location, you all will be the first to hear. And I'll be adding some of Dennis' photos to our gallery along with an ID guide as soon as I can.

Perhaps it's the "Curly Locks"...perhaps the "Beaming Smile"...perhaps "The B-Nocks"...TPC and I checked out the West-end birds today. I seemed to do the checking and TPC seemed to do the chatting..."PR" work is what I'm thinking. Sorry...inside joke...))
I'm sure Tracy will be doing a West-end update shortly. Heads-up as photos from today will be uploaded starting Monday.

I'm happy that you saw them today TPC..I haven't seen them on my way to and from work for the last couple of days. I was hoping that maybe they were incubating some eggs...but I guess not.
