West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
dupre501:
I live not too far from the WW nest site. When I emptied my rain gauge this morning it had 3.75 inches of rain in it (about 9.5 cm) - that is for the whole weekend. :P
dupre501:
We went out at about 2 p.m. and spotted one bird on the SW corner of the building. Since it was raining, we assumed the other was in the nestbox on the chicks, so didn't look any further.
The Peregrine Chick:
Beatrix has been on and off the chicks a few times over the last hour - think she is looking for Beau to bring in dinner. Hard to hunt in the rain though, no one flies when its raining. All the chicks were sitting up bright eyed and alert so they look fine from what I can tell. Beatrix is back on them now and/but I can't tell if it is raining at the box too wet.
The Peregrine Chick:
Beatrix is clamped down on the chicks in the box - pretty sure not a drop of rain can get under or over her. According to the Weather Network, rain is suppose to finish between 2100 and 2200h tonight.
Looking ahead more rain on Thursday and for what it is worth, a bit more next week on Monday and Tuesday. Temperature trend however is good - warming to about 30C over the next two weeks.
The Peregrine Chick:
Beau was on duty for a short bit, now Beatrix is back on and can't see so much as one chick feather from under her ... and yes, it is still raining at the nestbox ...
