West Winnipeg - 2014 / Beau & Beatrix
burdi:
Thanks for the great photos dupre,
sounds like you had an exciting evening!
Kinderchick:
Was out for dinner with a friend in West Winnipeg this evening. Did a little PF watching. Saw 3 of the chicks perched on the northwest corner of the building for quite awhile. Did see one chick doing a bit of "wingersizing" but no fledging tonight. Also saw an adult doing a few fly-abouts. Wondered if Beau was trying to entice the boys into fledging? Might have been there around the same time as you, dupre, but didn't see you.

Went out and spent about 2 hours watching these guys. Beatrix was on site but away from the chicks the whole time. Beau was with the chicks, then would take off and come back 10 min later with food, then take off again for 15 min.
Spotted 3 chicks on the wall and at times one looked like it was thinking of taking off, then didn't. Wow, knucklebiting for sure.
Happy I have such a patient and good husband.
Two chicks on the wall, one giving me a heart attack Another one, whew, he didn't go anywhere

The Peregrine Chick:
The little Bs have been fun today - well, more fun for them than for us ::) There are sections on the roof we can't see and that is where they wanted to hang out so they were all together in the morning then everyone but Belle disappeared only to reappear 10 hours later, then they disappeared again and reappeared just in time to go to bed. Little terrors.
The Peregrine Chick:
So far these guys are going very well - youngest is 39 days old at the moment so the boys are old enough and the girls are nearly so. The longer they hang out and practice on the roof the stronger they will be when they fledge (accidentally or not) which will make it easier for them to avoid all but the most unavoidable accidents - or so we have to hope.
The kids have been wingercizing but not excessively and even the boys don't seem up to full strength yet, so might be a couple more days. The nice weather should get them more interested in fledging though so we'll have to see what the next few days hold ...
