I may not be a fortune teller but I do see eggs in the future...just sayin !
The Peregrine Chick:
Hart and Joli (both confirmed at the time by the leg bands) were canoodling near the Logan nestsite so all looks good with this pair for this year. Hart is hard to read, our little surfer boy, way too laid back and often late to the party (ie, nest checks, banding). But he seems to work well with Joli and their kids are always well-fed and taken care of and she couldn't do that on her own. Could just be he is one of the more invisible males - an uncle of his was like that at the Radisson many years ago. This year, that invisibility may help him if he actually attempts to two-time Joli ... and yes, he was back at the West Winnipeg nestbox this morning to do some renos on the scrape in the nestbox. Didn't see him involved in some extra-curricular hanky panky with Faith, but who knows.
The Peregrine Chick:
Hart and Joli have a nice clean nestbox - we couldn't clean it last fall because the weather went very wet and usually we would have the nestbox all checked out and waiting for them before they got back or just as they were returning, but they are back a bit early so this year we were a bit late. Won't make any difference to them, Joli is already asserting her dominance over the nestbox and the surrounding area.
The Peregrine Chick:
Dennis managed to catch Joli's band number while she was flying overhead this morning - so we can confirm that Hart and Joli are back at Logan. Question is will Hart be a faithful husband or a bit of a rover? :o
