West Winnipeg - 2016 / Ty & Faith
The Peregrine Chick:
Ty this morning in the nestbox
The Peregrine Chick:
Ty may be starting to flirt with young Faith from Duluth. He joined her in the nestbox for the first time today and he came by with food, not necessarily for her, but after he flew away, so did she and then he turned up sans food so he likely gave it to her ....
bev.:
He may be waiting his time to see if Beatrix returns.
The Peregrine Chick:
Faith and Ty were back and forth in the nestbox all of yesterday despite the winds. Their behaviour at the nestbox is not what I would expect to see if they were courting but every pair is different. This morning, only had one visitation, not together but rather the usual he arrives and plays in the scrape, she arrives he bolts and she plays in the scrape and then he comes back and hangs out for awhile alone or he takes off again shortly thereafter. I don't see the whole in-box/at-box courtship thing we see everywhere else. And haven't seen any copulation on camera ... but most pairs copulate elsewhere ... going to have to see if we can see when they are out-of-range.

any word on Beatrix. is she flying by plane
--- End quote ---
Not quite yet, she's getting strong in the flight cage, they just want to consult with a couple of other rehabbers to make sure she's good to go since she's coming back up to Ty and a nestsite to defend (or not if Faith has moved on) and chicks to produce. All is looks to be progressing very well!
