West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
Saoirse:
Those accidental fledged are the worst -- if not for the birds, then certainly for the watchers!
newchick:
Bishop, taking after his namesake Billy Bishop.
:o Won't be long before they all take to the skies, ::) safe flights little fledglings! ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
Bishop just made a fly/hop from the box to the top of the camera - one gust of wind while he was airborne and he would have been fledging whether that was intent or not!! He's back on the box ledge now ... probably given the others ideas now ...
The Peregrine Chick:
the kids are all at the nestbox - one on the roof, the other three on the box ledges but all looking in different directions. Beau was parked on the wall edge keeping them company for awhile but now he's gone ...
The Peregrine Chick:
All the kids have been tucked down for the last little while but all near the nestbox - two on the ledge on the box, two on the roof on a little pile of roofing fabric (they always like roofing fabric). The winds here are gusting to 50km/h and this little band seem to be pretty wind savvy and that this is not something they want to play around in. They are 38 days old today, so old enough for the boys but they don't look like they are quite ready to bolt yet - at the moment there is a boy and a girl in each of the two piles, so they are still a pretty tight group - they were all in the box last night in a chick pile - cute when they are this old, but not surprising given how cold it was!
Anywho, I think we may have a couple more days before the boys fly but if the weather improves Bishop & Beaumont (who has already been running the wall edge) may prove me wrong. Belle isn't going to go for awhile and Bristol is hard to gauge, she's further along than Belle and adventurous so we'll just have to see.
