Manitoba Peregrines > Brandon Tower Peregrines
Tower Nest - 2013 / ? & ?
RCF:
On this Wednesday past I posted photos of the birds in the hole in the wall and today I checked my other photos from then and it looked like an aerial on a couple of pics. So if Juliet was south of Regina on Wednesday, I kind of doubt it would be her. Waiting impatiently for the transmitter data!!

Okay, I'm back ... could be one of three birds who are known to still be alive with transmitters - two of them are females, one is male. The male is McDermot and his transmitter is wickedly sporadic in its transmissions (always has been) - but if RCF's right, it won't be him much as we might like to think of him visiting his cousins. The first of the females is Juliet from West Winnipeg but at last report (Wed) she was south of Regina - she's been in Minnesota then she winged across the corner of Manitoba and up to Saskatoon, then down to Regina then she moved out of the city and that was her last report. The second female is a captive-bred bird released in 2011 in Neepawa - she's been very fond of the Minot area the last couple of years so perhaps she has come back to western Manitoba. Problem is that her transmitter gave up the ghost just a little while ago so we can't be sure from the satellite data. These are the three birds that are most likely the bird visiting the Tower site ... won't get the next satellite download until Sunday/Monday and I'll post what I find out.
So, RCF, we need to know a legband colour and on which leg ... that would help us to narrow down the possibilities perhaps to even the point of being able to accurately guess who your transmittered bird is ....
Exciting days in Brandon! ;D

I was just flabbergasted when I got home today and looked at my photos I took at the tower. The one bird has a transmitter on it’s back and there was no mistaking that! :o I checked the photos I took on Wednesday and I could see the transmitter aerial in a few of them. I think it is the female that has the transmitter since they were both on different towers and we could see one with the transmitter was bigger.
