West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules

[bev.]

Tracy, I noticed on the CBC cam page that you have posted tweets about the West Wpg peregrine chicks being/wandering close to Brandon.  I was wondering if any of the forum members would go there to look for these posts.  What I mean to say is, if the cam is not streaming anymore how many people go to the web page to look.  Maybe you would post things like that on the forum where I am sure most people go to look for information on the birds.  Just wondering.
 

I try to post the same thing here on the Forum as I do on Twitter but at that time my internet was acting up and by the time it was back up and operating I just didn't remember to post here as well.  Thanks for the reminder!

thank-you . also realize you are very busy

Thanks for the info about the WW fledglings, RCF. I actually hadn't thought to look at TPC's tweets on the CBC website. As you have said, I only used to read those tweets when the webcam was streaming live.

No wonder I haven't seen any in the last few days. Thank RCF!

Note about Juliet (2012 West Winnipeg) ... apparently she is in Grand Forks at the moment according to transmitter ... she has been further west this past month or nearly two now ...

Thanks PC. I didn't realize there was another bird that sounded so much like the Peregrine Falcons. That must be what flew over us on the Lee River last weekend screeching away. I thought what on earth is a Peregrine doing all the way out here!!

Was on Beverley Street last night when 3 PFs flew right over my head making all kinds of racket. I have heard them almost every time we are on that street. Earlier in the spring there were two adults getting "friendly" on top of one of the Elm trees. I'm assuming these are the Wpg West birds.

Actually CB I believe what you saw are merlins on Beverley there are a couple of pairs in that immediate area that have young fledging right now.  The fact that you saw them "getting friendly" this spring in a tree is an additional clue that the birds you are wstching are merlins.  The young look similar to peregrines particularly in flight and the two species sound very much alike but merlins are smaller and the live in/among trees.  They are great fun to watch them - they are amazing woodland specialists!

So nice now that I never see the Radisson family on top of the Delta anymore!

At 4:55 pm spotted 4 falcons soaring around the Diner. Lots of kakking going on. I believe the adult was Beau due to size difference.

Any word on how Beau, Jules and family are doing?
