Manitoba Peregrines > Radisson Peregrines
Radisson - 2016 / Smiley & Princess
GCG:
I am already beginning to feel the pinch of "empty" nest(s) syndrome! ::) :( :'(

I heard a peregrine calling on the cam (which is still without video) around 2:20 pm and again at 2:27 pm, so if someone happens to be in the downtown area they may be able to see somebirdie in the nearby area.

Oh WOW, no fighting please! :o On the other hand, we can't have interlopers squatting in Princess & Smiley's digs!! They will need it next year.......As opposed to the East Ledge which is of course NOT an option. :P
Was looking around for anybirdie last evening downtown - Nada. - Would love to see some hunting classes or family outings before they're off for the winter. :)

Had a long look at the interactions between 1600 and 1800 on Saturday (4th) and I don't believe the chick was a Radisson chick - neither Princess nor Smiley were at all pleased that the chick turned up. Smiley bombed after him/her (I'm inclined to think him) even before the chick turned up and Princess was being harassed (the flybys were bombings) for more than an hour - because of where the box is located and where she was sitting the harasser couldn't get close enough to be seen on the skycam at that angle. Not sure if it was the chick or whether it was a parent protecting its chick - Ty, Faith, Joli and Hart are all still in town - have seen them all on camera this weekend at their respective nestsites. The head markings were very bright and the WW chicks I believe have the brightest heads this year.

Thank you for all the information, TPC!
Unfortunately, it wasn’t good to hear that Smiley and Princess were not pleased and that harassing continued between the birds for quite a while. :(

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.
