The Peregrine Chick:
As soon as one chick figures it out, others do too. Have seen at least one of the male chicks and one of the female chicks get up on the ledge today. Its possible they all have had a visit, will have to go back and see if I can tell what colour the tape is on their leg bands.
The Peregrine Chick:
A little while ago, one of the male chicks hopped up out of the nestbox onto the ledge that we installed around the nestbox edge. The ledge is lower than the wall around the edge of the roof and it provides the chicks and adults (Beatrix is quite a fan of the ledge) with a wide place to sit/lie down out of the wind where they can still see out and around. There is also a small ramp attached to the ledge so that the chicks can do up/down from the box. Because this site is so very windy, this gives the chicks the opportunity to explore and practice before they actually get up on the edge of the roof. Design is a bit different but the same kind of set up we have been using at McKenzie Seeds. The hope is that the chicks will be stronger and more prepared when they do actually fledge from the building.
Cooper:
Both adults were sitting on the South side letters at around noon on Canada Day. They must have tired of waiting.
The Peregrine Chick:
No one is watching the fireworks at West Winnipeg ...
