Logan - 2014 / Hart & Jolicoeur
The Peregrine Chick:
We checked the nestbox on Friday and all was well - 4 eggs look great and Joli sure knows her job, but Hart ::) he really is a very very young dad. No attention to detail. We were only there for a few minutes, hoped to see how many eggs she had but wasn't going to disturb her more than we had to to find out - would be enough to know she was still incubating. Hart almost didn't turn up before we left and when he did, pretty lacklustre performance but it was enough for Joli and that is what matters. We may be being too hard on young Hart, Cowboy was an act nobody in the province, not even Jules in West Winnipeg could match. But heck, even Ivy was more assertive and Ivy was not Trey or T-Rex. Maybe once he has something to wiggly and vocal he will be upping his game, or maybe we just have to wait until next year. On the other hand, if he isn't a Cowboy in defence but an Ivy in "chick-rearing" that would be okay too - Ivy's chicks were fat and happy and for future prospects, that might be a better test of fatherhood. Particularly since Joli can almost her inner Cowboy when she needs to.

Haven't checked on them for awhile because of the cooler/wetter weather. At our last visit, looks like they should hatch about a week after the Radisson/McKenzie Seeds. We are hoping to get a look at them when the weather is a bit warmer/drier. Joli tends to get off the nest when we turn up and then is sometimes a bit slow getting back on, I think because Hart is not nearly as aggressive as Cowboy was and she isn't sure he's doing enough to drive us off. But that is just my impression so far in their relationship and we have been purposefully keeping a low profile so that she isn't torn between trying to be "mum" and "Cowboy".
I'll certainly post an update when I have one. :)

bev.:
so glad they are nesting. they do not have to do full incubation till 2nd last egg. And she will not be incubating all the time. Hart will do some
will miss Cowboy
birdnut:
Last year Cowboy spent alot of time perched on the smokestack antenna.
I have not seen any birdie there at all this year until today.
Cowboy back ? or Hart found his old perch.
Saw Joli twice today, so she is not sitting on the egg(s).
