West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
pmg:
that is exciting news to look forward to when you can confirm :D
The Peregrine Chick:
I think, just think, that Beau and Beatrix have been purposefully screwing around with us ... in a good way ... not positive quite yet, but I'm pretty sure they have four chicks. With the warmer weather and the chicks being larger and stronger, I'm pretty sure I saw 4 heads for a split second this morning. Will have to check the recorder and then wait for tomorrow to check again - because of the positioning of the nestbox, the sun becomes a bit of a problem seeing into the nestbox later in the day.

I am with you Burdi
TPC , has thought in all the birds names. It is always a favorite time, the naming of the new birds.

As interesting as Beatrix's adventure was, it wasn't the first time one of our peregrines has gone down a smokestack - not even the first time one has gone down that particular smokestack. Fortunately that stack hasn't been much of a problem in recent years simply because there are so many other, higher buildings in the area now - at one time in the Project's history it was a pretty tall structure in that part of downtown Winnipeg.

Regarding birds falling into smokestacks, this makes me shudder! I’m wondering why these buildings wouldn’t be required to have something installed over the top... such as a screen. Sad that some of our protected birds may have lost their lives this way. :'(

It's an interesting name for the files for sure but here is my question to you :) ... would the name really be "his"? Or just that "he'd" been named after something that happened to his mother who is turning out to be a really neat peregrine? Or should we keep the name for a peregrine that perhaps suits it better?

Hmmm, you ask tough questions TPC! Thought it was a good suggestion from gcg, but, guess we will have to wait and see. Perhaps one of the chicks might bring a well known name to mind, (possibly even Smokey the Bear!) Hahaha, you never know!
Anyhow TPC, I do recall you having quite a knack for meaningful names 8) I’m thinking we best leave the naming up to you! :)
