West Winnipeg - 2016 / Ty & Faith
dupre501:
On a cloudy overcast Thursday, we checked out the site after work, and as we approached it looked like three falcons were flying around. Two very close to each other and one a little behind, watching the goings on. Once we got there, there was only one bird sitting on the NE corner of the Diner. Snapped a few photos, when I spotted something circling way, way up high. Managed to snap a recognizable photo of a bald eagle.
On a bright sunny Saturday afternoon, we visited and one lone bird was sitting on the NE corner of the Diner.
The Peregrine Chick:
Well, if it is Joli back at Logan, it looks like Hart is not quite ready to give up his new lady friend ...
Hatchings are great, but matchings are much more entertaining!! ;D
The Peregrine Chick:
Well now that it looks as though Joli has likely returned to Logan (ID still pending), Faith is on her own at West Winnipeg ... at least for the time being ...

Our 2015 resident pair haven't returned here yet but there has been a visit by Hart and a ladyfriend we haven't been able to identify yet. For the moment, because we have had problems in the past with cross-postings and confusion about who's where in the spring, I going to keep this thread open for Ty and Beatrix. If it turns out that Hart and whomever is his mate this year take over this nestsite, we'll move their thread over.
Hart and his lady friend were first seen at the Logan site this morning - Dennis followed them to West Winnipeg for their visit. They may or may not return, they may just have been in the midst of a courtship flight, or checking out real estate or checking out the neighbours (who obviously weren't home). We've not seen Hart or Joli at this nestsite before so it was interesting that they should turn up there. Might be the timing though, West Winnipeg is often home pretty fast. Could be that tomorrow will have other surprises. Just to make it a hat trick, Hart turned up at the Radisson this morning as well, much to the displeasure of the Radisson male!!
It was a busy location here today. Before the peregrines arrived there were a pair of merlins at the nestbox followed immediately by a pair of crows. Figures, they were probably in the midst of a dispute over the/a crows' nest. The peregrines turned up about a 1/2 hour later.
