West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
The Peregrine Chick:
The WW chicks are in a pile in the back of the nestbox with Beau on kid-sitting duty. The chicks are a bit damp but they are in the driest part of the box. Beau on the other hand is dry ... ooops, now he's gone and Beatrix is feeding the kids!
The Peregrine Chick:
West Winnipeg Banding
We found that Beatrix and Beau have four chicks - 2 males and 2 females - when we banded them today. The chicks are surprisingly close in size but their feet looked male/female. So we measured them up and the feet told the tale - 2 males and 2 females. One of the male chicks was so cute right up until the point where he tried to eat my hand :D and all of them were vocal and just as independent as their aunts downtown! Beatrix was definitely defending the nestsite but we aren't sure about Beau, we'll have to check Dennis' photos. He does at times disappear, we assume to go hunting further afield. Jules was such a dominant at the nestsite, he may have gotten used to being able to "shop" further away from home at times. Fortunately, the rain held off until the chicks were all back in their box, Beatrix had settled down and we were on our way.

The Peregrine Chick:
At 2030h was watching a feeding and it didn't take long for the kids to say "burp, had enough" and Beatrix kept trying to tempt them but they weren't interested. Nice to see fat and happy chicks.
