West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules

Wohoo SUCCESS!!!
Out looking for the falcons at 6 pm. Nothing, no chicks, no adults.
About half an hour later, spotted one chick on the NE corner. My husband dropped me and my chair off and went shopping. I set up, in a very breezy spot and froze in that wind. But, while I was watching, Jules showed up flying overhead. She just hung in the air like a kite, occasionally swooping around then hanging again. Beau showed up and perched on the NW corner. All this took a while (sometime after 7 pm), the next thing I knew, there were 3 peregrines in the air and another chick showed up on the NE corner and kakked at them. Jules flew lead, and Beau flanked the chick. Jules and yhe chick wheeled around and flew back to the east wall. Jules followed the chick in on the landing and all landed safely. ;D

Saw a parent again on the NE corner on the way home (about 4:45). Couldn't see the other side of the building from where I was driving and didn't have time to stop to get a better look from a better vantage point :(

Ah, now that would have put you going past after Cooper but before Dennis and before me ... and I haven't had any other reports from other sources

--- Quote from: Cooper on July 19, 2013, 08:53 ---This morning's drive-by at 8:15 saw nobody! It's rare that I don't see at least one of the corner sentries. Did a panicked scan of surrounding rooftops, but no positive falcon IDs ???

Dennis had the same experience and couldn't find them anywhere else either. But likely the winds have them down on the roof behind the walls because Jules was on-site and our experiences with Jules are that she doesn't leave the chicks during the day so if they had fledged, she should be with them, not still hanging out ... but we'll be checking on them periodically and I'm sure you will too Cooper!! :)
