West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
The Peregrine Chick:
Caught sight of two of the chicks - no idea who but they looked large so I'm happy to guess they were Belle and Bristol - playing fly-tag west of the B&B. Might have been hunting dragonflies, I remember chicks about this age one year we had lots of grasshoppers catching them in mid-air at this time of the year. And last year of course, Beatrix was a big hunter of giant water bugs when she visited in the autumn.

Not really interaction - I was photographing the chicks (lousy photos but fun to take nonetheless) playing tag and one of the adult kites flew by and neither the chicks nor Beau who was hanging out with them nor the kite paid any attention to one another. Nice to see they don't have a problem with one another at this stage of our chicks' development!

This evening, one adult on the Diner and two chicks on the Tower (one of which was Belle).

Yesterday morning we were headed out of the city at 6:45 am and spotted 3 birds, each on a different corner of the Diner.
This afternoon we went for a drive and spotted one lone chick on the Tower, it was Belle. A little later one of the adults came circling through. I'm not sure, it may have been Beatrix. It circled the Tower and then circled to the north (maybe a bit east, but mostly north). Belle showed no interest in following. A bit later she went to the Diner, but within just a few minutes she was chasing some bird east out of the territory. She returned quickly to the Tower. That's where she was when we left.
