The Peregrine Chick:
Just to add to Carly's report ... depends on where the wing is broken and if it is an open or closed break. Lower break (toward tip of wing) better than higher, closed (not broken through the skin - which is quite thin) better than open.
Keep us updated Carly ...

Ouch...just went back and not good news: the young are only about 2 weeks old here!! :'(
UPDATE - Thanks to the assistance of the MNR,SPCA and local Humane Society, we now know that our male (ID'd via band #) has been recovered but has a broken wing. He was taken to a clinic in Vineland for further assessment. From my limited knowledge of raptor rehabilitation this isn't great news in either the near or long term.
Our female is obviously put off by this given behaviour witnessed at the nest ledge today.Updates will be posted as received.

Hi all.
Just a heads-up, we have concerns that our male is MIA.
If you happen to notice two adults on the nest cam can you let me know day/time?
Either here (BCAW) or via the contact link on:
www.asic.ca/peregrinefalcons
Hopefully he resurfaces!
The Peregrine Chick:
Man, keep forgetting how much that site looks like ours ....
bcbird:
The photos on the cam site of the very newly hatched chick are magical. The set from the first hatch show a dramatic contrast between tender parent with hatchling, and fierce protector sounding an intruder alarm. The sight of a less than 5 minute old hatchling is absolutely wondrous.
