West Winnipeg - 2009 / Ivy & Jules

[bccs]

arar.  Wait and see, wait and see .... (my new mantra )

OHMMMMM, OHMMMM mouth tucked behind the fist giggling.

Hopefully we will find eggs for them in the next week - that would seem to be about the schedule.  Even if we don't we will keep looking until its well past the time for eggs. Over the last couple of days, I have mostly just seen 1 bird at a time, which might indicate that calm before incubating but until we find eggs, its all supposition.  This pair last year never did produce eggs, so we are keeping our fingers crossed that perhaps the female was just a bit too young last year.  Wait and see, wait and see .... (my new mantra )

I haven't seen them at all for last couple of days...so maybe, just maybe they are wanting to nest soon somewhere?

[The Peregrine Chick]

Dennis & I swung past all the usual haunts and Jules and Ivy are being annoying and hanging out where it doesn't appear to be conducive nesting but also don't yet appear to be nesting.  We'll be do box checks in the next couple of days and hopefully by then we will have an egg somewhere!!!

TPC assumes I had my camera when I was checking on the locations today. Well, she was "Correct" again ! She is beginning to read me better than my wife...lol

Ivy has changed some since we saw him last year and the year before, he looks much more like his Dad (hallelujah!)

- So cute TPC, head of the  'I ADORE TREY' fanclub - his highness definitely deserves the worshipping, though he needs to be a bit (actually alot) more assertive in steering his spouse to the proper nesting site!

1130 hrs (local) - Dennis was passing by the Bleachers and spotted who he thought was Jules but no Ivy.  He has photos and will be processing them this evening so he askes that we don't quote him on the identity until he has had a chance to check the images.

On this same subject, Dennis and I are working to figure out the quick and easy field mark differences between Jules and Ivy so that they are easier to identify at a distance or from any angle.  When we have it worked out, I will post images on the portrait gallery with the differences identified below.  Ivy has changed some since we saw him last year and the year before, he looks much more like his Dad (hallelujah!)

[The Peregrine Chick]

0800 hrs (local) - both Jules & Ivy are on the bleachers again - they like to go hunting from there and it was 2nd breakfast time (first breakfast is about 6 am at this time of the year). 

Since both are still around, they may not quite yet be ready to lay.  Will see if I can't make the 'rounds in the next day or two to see if we have any good news to report ... one location may have to wait until the weekend though ...

TOTALLY, allikat!  Feathers and talons crossed for these two this year.   

I meant the bldg with the 360 view, not the WW site. 

[allikat]

I hope the WW pair has eggs as well this year.  That would be wonderful for us to have the knowledge of two families of falcons in Winnipeg.  Come on Jules and Ivy!  Nest with Success!
