West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules

<< < (30/81) > >>

Moonstar:
So does this mean that the chick that was on the low building roof made it back to the tall building where the nest box is?

dupre501:
My husband and I were in the area and watching between 4:30 and 5:00. All 5 falcons were were confirmed at the same location at 5:00.

When we first arrived we checked out the north side of the building and didn't see much. Next we took a drive out to see if we could see much of the west wall. One chick in the NW corner, but as we headed out I was sure I spotted one on the south sign. On our return we parked across from the south wall. Both adults were on the south sign. Beau sitting casually and Jules was having a early dinner. By this point it is starting to rain. One of the chicks decides to fly down close to Jules and beg for food. After a few minutes Jules moves away from the chick, taking dinner with her, and then moves further still. Beau was just watching the goings on. Then another chick shows up on the south wall. We could see four birds at once. Well, now it is really raining, so we took one last drive out and confirmed that the third chick was still in the NW corner. All birds looked well.

It was Jules that was on the corner watching over the kids, could tell by the head markings from a photo...she never leaves them ! Beau showed 30 min later and Jules moved to the nest box corner and he to the other end.
Some calling from the chick on the low roof but no action...so don't know who fledged today ?

The Peregrine Chick:
Rain is getting heavier in the west side of town, constant but not sheeting yet.  The chicks won't fly in the rain if its more than light, so wherever the chicks are sitting right now is probably where they will stay until the storm has passed.  Looking at the radar the edge of the storm has just reached us so it will be awhile yet before anyone will be flying again ...

Moonstar:
Wonderful morning at WW location with bccs and Linder.  Saw parents flying.  Saw one chick flying and doing well.  Heard one chick on the roof when a parent came in and next thing we knew the chick that we believe fledged first, flew in with a lot of Kaking.  The parent we believe was Beau flew out there very quickly. 
There is another chick on a lower building roof. I think the building is only about  4 stories high. Saw him/her flapping wings a few times but most times he/she was lying down.  As bccs said it must have fledged some time before she arrived there.  I arrived about 10 min after she got there.
Dennis and Wowzer showed up and Wowzer is all set up and ready to take pictures.
