Very interesting, to hear of a new nest in your area, bev. Please keep us posted. :)

We do not know what happened that Chase regressed in his behavior , this year. we can only surmise that after 2 chicks were removed at banding and one treated at box for 3 days , he got confused. Because up until then he was hunting and feeding chicks.
After banding , he brought in food at first but took it right out again, and ate it himself. Then he just quit hunting. He started begging for food like the young male.
Hopefully a year will make a difference. I never wish any harm to any of them but poor Radisson does not need another year of this

the kids are still there but we have been eaten alive with mosquitoes, sand flies, and froze to death. But we were glad to see some youngsters again. I think they will be gone shortly.
But we have not forgotten Radisson. She is still holding her site and Chase is a bit of a pain, but we will see what next season brings
here are 2 slideshows of Jeans picutres from her window. click on pictures and look at dates

Ah...the life of a peregrine. They keep us wonderin' and guessin'... and it's fine by me. They have been doin' this for years, so, I, leave all of that up to them...nature sure is, a mystery, and I leave it to them as they know what's best!

Lots can happen in the life of a PF, in a very short amount of time. But I, too, am going to hold out positive thoughts for Feist still being alive.
