Logan - 2014 / Hart & Jolicoeur
The Peregrine Chick:
Just checked a weather station closer to the Logan territory and they are showing the same shift in the wind and the configuration of this site is that any winds from the south are completely blocked. 18.3mm of rain received at this location so as long as Joli, who is likely the biggest of our females right now, was able to keep all the kids under her and warm, they should be fine. Won't know until tomorrow at the earliest though ....

Odd pairing....interesting, made to be, ie: fate?! Jolicoeur actually means, "pretty heart" and she is paired with a very attractive male named Hart.

Dennis and I were shaking our heads over that when they first paired up. Wouldn't have been any better if Beau and Joli were together , they would be "beautiful" and "pretty" - not inaccurate, they are both very attractive birds. Same for Beatrix and Beau based on their spelling - we couldn't call them Bea and Beau that was just too twee. Fortunately or serendipitously, Beatrix is the feminine latin for "voyager or traveler" which of course makes it the perfect name for an anatum peregrine and Beau is beautiful. As for Jolicoeur, Coeur de Guerrier might be more accurate but not as attractive a name or easy to pronounce. Hart has a bit more growing into his the phonetic spelling of his name but he seems to be making progress for one so young.

The Peregrine Chick:
Been raining all day (up to 20mm) and tomorrow is forecasted to rain all day again - another 20-30mm.
These chicks here are the youngest we have which means they are smaller but more vulnerable to wet/cold.
We will just have to wait until after the rain stops to see how Joli managed.
Keep your fingers crossed folks.
