Radisson - 2016 / Smiley & Princess
ballywing:
I guess it was Smiley I saw on the west nest yesterday just after 7pm. Sure was nice to see one of our 'birdies' hanging around! :)

Don't be too worried, she usually disappears at this time of the year. In the past she returns in the fall to renew her bond with her mate (we hope to clean out most of the debris in the box before then!) and then takes off in September.

Thank you for the information. I'll try not to worry then ... hmmm, I wonder where Princess goes to hang out during that time, and if Smiley visits her or if she goes quite far away ... was she known to disappear like this in her younger years, TPC?

I believe Smiley brought in a meal for himself at 0518 hrs. It was too dark to see exactly what was going on in the box, but afterwards he sat on the front edge awhile before leaving at 0600 hrs.

I also think this was Smiley, and if so, he sure has been at the nest a lot recently (I’ve quite a list of sightings from yesterday and today). It’s interesting to watch how peregrines spend their time, and I’ve noticed that Smiley rarely sleeps at night; he’s practically always on the lookout.
By the way, my guess is that Smiley will be sticking around for quite a while, and I doubt he’ll even think about heading south any sooner than he absolutely has to! ;D
