Exactly like angel wings ... fitting since they are ex-pigeons.
Sorry I was so absent this winter - lots of new work at the job that funds this little obsession of mine (ours?)

The Peregrine Chick:
0940h CDT
Bird sitting on the north side Rogers sign on the "s" preening.
He seems not to like to sit in the sun. He doesn't (at the moment) visit the nestbox in the afternoon, just mornings and evenings. Same thing on the east side - last year and so far this year - he doesn't sit in the sun on the Radisson sign.
And he's been making a mess on the nestledge - lots of prey remains and feathers. He seems to have a preference for light (white/almost white) pigeons - there are a few wing sets lying there.
The Peregrine Chick:
More great news - Radisson cameras are back online. A big thank you to Eye-Spy and the folks from Shaw!!!
Yes, peregrine back. Yes, looks like one of our resident birds - Smiley we think - band is black over green with a W. Haven't had a chance to see the numbers on the green yet but it is looking more and more likely that it is him. Interestingly, his behaviour is calmer this year, less itchy-n-scratchy always preening. More like an experienced resident male, which of course he is, but now he is looking more like it. Bit early for Princess' return but if she holds to tradition, sometime in the next 10 days. Having said that, she's an older lady and she may not make it back so we'll have to wait and see I'm afraid.
Cooper - your spotter friends were quite right, there was a bird back last week - first sight of him at the box was on March 10th. I've got some short video clips downloaded and will put them up on YouTube this evening. We had some other visitors this winter too and I'll post their clips as well.
