West Winnipeg - 2013 / Beau & Jules
Cooper:
Two birds at the diner this morning to start my week off with a smile. Beau on a south "o" and I'm pretty sure (based on colouring) it was one of the chicks on the "G". Traffic was snarled up so I had plenty of time to ogle. :)
The Peregrine Chick:

Throughout this fall/winter, no more bad news. I, for one, anticipate our Winnipeg falcons will have successful nests in the future.

Unfortunately, news from the B&B is that the work will continue for a couple more years apparently. This year was a great year once we had them transplanted to the nestbox, the girls didn't have a single problem, it was kinda scary.
We do finally have approval to block off the horrible nestsite next spring and that hopefully will send Beau & Jules off to the transplant site. But given difficulties in previous years, I'm going to wait until we actually have it blocked off before I'm happy.
But that is still 6 months away and we should enjoy that we have only had two mortalities (that we know of) this year and not borrow trouble from next year ... ;)

Thank you for the update TPC.
Still cheers me to see Beau though hanging about the diner. On the "e" south side at 4:00 today.

Couldn't agree more Cooper, particularly since the sisters did so very very well at fledging.
As I recall, Beau typically hangs out in town in the fall while Jules goes wandering. Last year he was last spotted on September 27th ... and he was the first bird to arrive back this spring on March 27th ...
