Manitoba Peregrines > City Hall, Regina, Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan / Regina - City Hall - 2016 / Jasper & Andamooka
msdolittle:
there is a chick on the 7th window trying out its wings. A parent keeps flying by teasing it.
msdolittle:
thanks. I'm on my way to City Hall now. Hope to see them!
The Peregrine Chick:
Went back through my records to refine some of the dates and best estimates are they are about 40-42 days old right now. Andamooka is not part of the small Radisson line of chicks, she's a big bird for Manitoba and her mate Jasper is from who knows where but as he's unbanded, it reduces the number of possibilities from Manitoba - though not entirely outside the realm of possibility given that most, if not all of the Saskatchewan birds at the moment, are from Manitoba. Having said all that, Andamooka's chicks are likely bigger than ours so 40-50 days is probably a more realistic age range for fledging. And yup, they are in it now. I know folks in Regina were watching one of the kids testing it's wings on Sunday but the other chicks weren't visible yet.

When should the chick's be fledgling?

If they were banded the last week in June they would be a little older or the same age as the McKenzie chicks, so they should be old enough to fledge.
