West Winnipeg - 2015 / Ty & Beatrix
The Peregrine Chick:
Melee bird hasn't been back but went through the recordings frame by frame and definitely NOT Beatrix - think it might be Spencer or Kelly based on what I can see of the leg bands (on the opposite legs from Beatrix and Ty) and that it was a female - and those are the only two around town. Unless it is a complete outlier, someone we haven't seen all year ... possible. Will let you know if I manage to get more info.

Just wish I could have seen who it was defending. No way to tell who was attacking, much too fast. Unfortunately, the defender kept her/his feet out of camera range. If it is someone new, maybe they will come back (sans the fighting) and I'll get another chance to get an ID.

Bit of a melee at the nestbox just after 4pm today. There was a female, who I assume was Beatrix but can't be sure, was under aerial assault that was so fast I had to slow the recording down to see it buzz by. She didn't give an inch though - and she was serious, every time the bird buzzed by she jumped up trying to catch the attacker with her feet! Very serious business this late in the season which is what makes me wonder if it was Beatrix or an interloper ... pretty sure I saw a black band but was happening so fast and not within range of the cameras.

Nice photo of Tuppence! :D
Yesterday, when checking out the area, we only found Beatrix at the Tower.
Today at about 4 pm, both Beatrix and Ty were on the east side of the Diner. A while later when we came back to the area at about 5:30 pm, Ty was on the Tower and Beatrix was still on the east side of the Diner.
