West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
dupre501:
This afternoon, three were hanging out at the Tower. I believe all of them were chicks, I'll know better when I review my photos on the computer.
dupre501:
Today at about 6:30 p.m., there were two chicks hanging out on the east sign (one of them was Bristol) and two chicks were hanging out higher up on the roof.

Shortly before 7 pm yesterday, we arrived to find Beatrix plus one chick sitting on the east sign (Chick 1). There must have been another chick on the roof 'cause it was being very vocal (Chick 2). We decided to move to try to see that chick. I then discovered that there was another chick on the neighboring building to the east (Chick 3).
That's when Chick 3 decided to take off and was carrying food. Well, Chick 2 launched off from somewhere on the WW building followed closely by Chick 1, they were both chasing Chick 3. What happened next was a lot of aerial acrobatics, with all three chick returning to the WW building. Beatrix watched and cocked her head, but didn't move from her perch.
The Peregrine Chick:
Wind is up in West Winnipeg - two of the chicks arrived and hung out for a few minutes around 2030h then took off again. Beaumont arrived a few minutes ago and he tried to find a spot on the ledge to lie down out of the wind, but didn't seem to be able to find one, then he hopped into the box and that too was not what he was looking for. Now he is back up on the ledge, back to the camera. Bristol arrived and nibbled on Beaumont's tail from the ramp before hopping onto the wall edge for a last look around. Beaumont has retired into the nestbox and Bristol is on the nestbox ledge just where Beaumont was a few minutes ago. Now she's gone into the box to join him. Maybe Belle and/or Bishop will join them yet ...
The Peregrine Chick:
Yup, Bristol is red ... Belle is yellow ...
