It is a male we have identified in the past but he's never been identified in Winnipeg before - and most certainly never at the Radisson!

TPC, do you have any further information such as his age or where he’s from? ???
If he’s searching for a nice home I hope he will find an empty nestbox in Winnipeg … if they’re still available. I wouldn’t want to see any fighting.

He's from the US and I'm not sure of his age but can see if I can find out. He's not searching for a home, he has one that he's pretty devoted to, so this is probably just migrating out, I heard that he and his mate didn't have a successful nest this year, so he and likely she have decided to start heading out on their travels north/east/west before finally heading south in a bit.

Thank you for your information, TPC. I’m just happy to hear this new male already has a home; I was concerned that he may have had his sights on the Radisson!
Anyhow, it is always interesting to learn about new peregrines in the area - but we may not even see him again - if he was simply dropping by ... however, if you should happen to find any further info, or, if you spot him again, please let us know.

It isn't unusual for stranger birds to drop by for a visit and it is likely just Smiley and perhaps still Princess though she tends to leave earlier, warning the visitor that this isn't and unoccupied territory. Same thing used to happen with Trey in particular. Can't remember if it did for Ivy, don't think so, think it was pretty quiet until he left and then if there were visitors they turned up then.
As for the image/sound - they come in on separate signals so it may mean that the IT folks in Toronto have cut the video signal but not the audio. I know they have been so busy they didn't turn off the camera in July like they planned, so we had lots of free viewing this year which was a bonus! :)

I hope Princess doesn’t leave too early. I was still hoping to see some bonding. :)
Separate signals for video and audio - okay, so your thoughts are likely right, TPC … I really do miss seeing our Radisson birds though. However, I’m very thankful for the bonus viewing time (whether or not intended)!
Liz:
Interesting goings-on this week. Thanks TPC et al for the updates. :)
