McKenzie Seeds - 2013 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
The Peregrine Chick:
Nice looking photo RCF - very clear! You had better skies than we did I think :)
RCF:
I was in Brandon today and I got all excited because there was a birdie sitting on the very top of the lightning rod/flag pole on the McKenzie building. Well, it wasn't a peregrine but a Merlin. I also saw a hawk fly over the building with a couple of crows dive bombing it. Anyway seeing these birds is a good sign that our falcons should be home soon. :)
RCF:
I checked here yesterday......no falcons yet. It appears that someone has opened the door to the fire escape and pushed the ravens nest over to the far edge. I didn't see any ravens around, so they may have abandoned the nest.

This sounds familiar :D there have been ravens visiting the Radisson nestbox this winter to pick through the remains of meals in the back of the nestbox. Bet the McKenzie cache sites are pretty clean at this point. ;)
RCF:
The ravens have been hanging around the McKenzie building all winter. I have seen them perch under the black /green ledge on windy, snowy days, the same place where the peregrines cache their food. They also sit on the beacon lights on the very top of the roof. I haven't seen the pigeons on the McKenzie building very much but they seem to roost more on the Scotia building. The other day I watched the two ravens swoop over to the Scotia bldg and make the pigeons scatter in panic mode.....not sure if they would try and catch one or not. :-\
