Selkirk Peregrines - 2012 / Ty & Paris
bcbird:
I see from Dennis' latest pictures of Selkirk chick, Daer or the other(?) that the cute little mohawk is still in vogue.
The Peregrine Chick:

I always look forward to reading the history behind their names.
So why did you give Paris her name?

Its a bit of a play on information related to the person who first reported the pair. And no, the person's name isn't "Paris", I'm a bit superstitious about naming birds after living people, we haven't had good luck with birds named that way. And since they chose a communications tower which none of our others have, Paris also brought to mind the Eiffel Tower which is not only a tower, but is the tallest structure in France because of the communications antennae on the top (the Millau Viaduct is taller than just the tower).

The chick is male (as you have guessed :)) and small for a male but given that Ty isn't big and nor does it look like Paris is either, not really surprising. Very aggressive, didn't like Lisa and most certainly didn't like me during the banding. Was happy enough to sit freely on my hand during his release so he's an interesting little terror. We've named him Daer. Lord Daer is the title given to the heirs of the Lords of Selkirk, so as a son of Selkirk it seemed appropriate to give him this name - particularly in the year of the 200th anniversary of the Selkirk Settlement and (hopefully) the first year of peregrine settlement in Selkirk.
