McKenzie Seeds - 2015 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
Shocka88:
Luv it! I should be in Brandon lots in the next while so will try and do some watching.
RCF:
I thought I would share this lovely photo of Hurricane I took April 27th.
The Peregrine Chick:
Little excitement at McKenzie Seeds when a nest check was attempted this week - pigeons had found their way inside the building and because of where we have to get to to check the birds, it was a bit too hazardous for people and pigeons. But we will be trying again and as soon as we have an egg count we will post it here!

Wow! I didn't recall that these 2 have been together for 6 yrs. Remarkable! :D
The Peregrine Chick:
We haven't been able to get a look at how many eggs Brooklyn and Hurricane have yet, but we hope to very soon!
It usually takes at least 3 weeks between return date and the date the first egg is laid. Hurricane was first spotted on the 11th by RCF which means that May 2nd was 3 weeks from her arrival. If she started laying at three weeks and laid at the regular interval, there should have laid her third egg and started incubating on May 5/6 and a fourth egg should be laid by tomorrow (May 8). If they had four eggs before this time, then I suspect that Hurricane and Brooklyn were getting together earlier away from McKenzie Seeds - but they are very fast at laying eggs after they arrive home so it will be impossible to tell for sure unless they haven't laid their last egg yet.
Now Hurricane and Brooklyn often lay four eggs but they have never managed to raise more than 3 chicks past one week of age. If they do have four eggs, fingers crossed for this year though - it is their six year together so it would nice for them to break their routine!
