Manitoba Peregrines > West Winnipeg Peregrines
West Winnipeg - 2009 / Ivy & Jules
bev.:
Safety of the birds , always first. and of course the privacy of the building they occupy.
someone asked why your birds are returning and not Edmontons, yet. we are further North and it depends where they winter.
that could be one reason.
The Peregrine Chick:
No we aren't divulging where the birds are hanging out, not because we don't want to share but because it makes it difficult for the building managers to do their jobs. If the birds decide to nest and if the building management & occupants don't have a problem become a focus of potentially intense public attention (which includes things like increased security and safety), then I will reconsider the Project's decision.

I've seen them!
I also won't say anything as it's private :-X
Sorry everyone.. I just find it absolutely wonderful that we have more than one pair of fabulous falcons in Winnipeg.
Maybe this year will bring more chicks in our mix :D
To Trey & Princess......ahem ~ NEST ON THE WEST!

Below is a quote from one of Tracy's posts last year. I'm not sure how to change the color for this thing so we'll see once I post if it worked. Otherwise here's what she said. Doesn't mention the success of any eggs/hatchlings.
--- Quote --- Not going to tell you I'm afraid. The problem is that the birds are hanging out on some buildings that are perfect for them but their presence is not always so easy for building management or building occupants. Also, if it is Lucy and Ivy or one of them with someone new, they are a new pair and so far the track record in this part of town has not been great. What is great is the location and the willingness of the people involved to welcome the birds and all the necessary "baggage" that comes with them. So, in order to give the birds and the people a break, we are keeping the locations anonymous for the time being. Will happily keep everyone informed on the birds' and their maybe babies progress though!
While I would love to share everything about all of our birds with everyone, the peregrines, their safety and the recovery effort take precedence. I hope everyone understands the reasons for the Project's decision, even if you don't necessarily agree with the decision.

i think the west is kept secret because of it's location .yes? i remember last year no one would say, so I assumed it must be on an apartment block ..or somewhere people wouldn't want to be bothered with crazy peregrin people milling about.
