Manitoba Peregrines > West Winnipeg Peregrines
West Winnipeg - 2009 / Ivy & Jules
maggieblue:
So I went for a little walk this afternoon to confirm my suspicions about where the West Winnipeg pair are hanging out. :-X And don't worry folks I didn't go near the buildings, wouldn't want to ruin a budding romance. Now here is the funny part. I realized when I got home that I can actually see the tops of these buildings from my back door. ACK! They have been so close for years and I haven't managed to see them. ::) Until the leaves come out I will be keeping a distant eye out.

there a heap load of pigeons here by the Hotel Fort Garry ...

So there is a possibility that Winnipeg could handle a couple more pairs of peregrines - one pair south terrritory and one pair in north/east territory - if there were enough food for all.

That would be the Nest in the West, as opposed to NEST ON THE WEST!
I can't guess about the north and east, but any chance the southern limit has to do with Fort Whyte?

Nope, southern limit has to do with the U of M territory. T-Rex used to hold the U of M one when his Dad (Pop) held the Radisson territory. Found them one day sitting near to each other on the Royal Bank at McGillivray and Pembina Highway. Only time I saw them near one another after 1989 when T-Rex hatched. In 1995 when Pop disappeared while Madame (his second mate) was incubating T-Rex turned up a day later and started feeding Madame and incubating her eggs. It should be said that T-Rex and Madame were together (not nesting) for a year at the U of M before she moved into the Radisson territory when Maud died after collided with a high-tension wire - don't know whether that previous relationship was the reason Madame didn't abandon Pop's eggs and/or T-Rex adopted them but it is what happened.
Oh, and the U of M territory? It hasn't been occupied since Trey left thought we do keep hoping.

Awesome story Tracy. Does Dennis every take videos of the birds, or just still shots?
I would have given a lot to have witnessed the situation you described. Not only are you a good writer, you fare quite well at teasing too. The old I know something you don't know senario ;D, chuckle chuckle.
