McKenzie Seeds - 2014 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
Kinderchick:
Great to hear the news of eggs at the McKenzie Seeds nest site! Hooray for Hurricane & Brooklyn! :D
The Peregrine Chick:
And you would be right RCF - Brooklyn and Hurricane may not have been the first birds back but they are one of, if not the front-runners for nesting this year. Which would make sense, they didn't have new partners so courting was a little less lengthy than some others.
As of this morning, there are 4 eggs in the nestbox at McKenzie Seeds. Hatch timeline is the same as for the Radisson, end of May/beginning of June.
RCF:
I am pretty sure Brooklyn and Hurricane have eggs from the way they have been acting. ;D

Brooklyn and Hurricane were back 1st week of April and things are progressing well.

When the peregrines go south for the winter, do they sort of line up future mates for each other for the upcoming breeding season? or do they just spend solitary time hunting and sleeping, etc.? :)

You are welcome RaptorGal, my pleasure. As for what the little demons get up to while they are away, it seems that generally the answer is no, they are very much loners for the first couple of years before finding a mate and a nestsite. But that doesn't mean that they don't hang out with others along the way, they do, but it seems that until they actually spend a nesting season not just playing "house" with a mate, they aren't committing themselves to anyone or anyplace. Once that happens though, they swing the other way and tend to get a wee bit obsessive about mates, nests, chicks, anything and everything. Not that we are complaining ;)
