Manitoba Peregrines > West Winnipeg Peregrines
West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules
dupre501:
On Saturday May 4th about noon, Jules was on the east side of the Diner soaking up the rays and Beau was on the Bleachers. So they were not yet into constant incubation mode.
dupre501:
Beau was on the south sign of the Diner this evening, about 6:15-6:30ish. He was soaking up the evening sun.
The Peregrine Chick:
Yup, looks like we have eggs in the "bad" location, but they look safe in the tuppernest and they certainly have more protection than the Radisson birds have right now!! Can't tell if they are incubating (think there are just two eggs still but ...) or rather just making sure the eggs are safe from the wet/cold weather today.

Okay, this is going to be hard to describe but I will do my best. We have asked for help to keep the peregrines off the building and we've provided information on how to do it. And it does happen, but not consistently enough to be effective. So we have been asking to get access to the area of the nestsite before the birds start nesting to block off the site so they literally can not nest there, but we don't get all the necessary permissions in time. And yes, we do start months in advance. Same thing for the banding. Now that makes everyone who works in the building isn't being helpful and that would not be correct, they are very nice, helpful people. But access to the actual site is a bit complicated so helpful and willing isn't quite enough to get it done I'm afraid. We are working with new strategies this year, so I have to be hopeful, but time will tell. :-\

That is too bad. To bad something can't be done about that spot. I know it is not possible because of the circumstances.

Oh we keep trying but without permissions/cooperation on-site, there is only so much we can do I'm afraid.
And if they have started incubating we are already working on options for the banding which will likely be in June.
