Saskatchewan / Regina - City Hall - 2016 / Jasper & Andamooka

[bcbird]

Today, while downtown, I heard a very familiar sound!
Oh man...instant smile on my face, which turned to joy when I actually saw them!
Yes folks, them = plural!  
After so many years of being in the right places but (always) at the wrong times, today, I finally heard, and then, saw two beautiful Falcons!!!  
I am so happy!!!  

I'm very happy for you, allikat!
Here's hoping a successful nesting season gives you many more joyful sightings.

Allikat is correct, just heard through the grapevine that a second bird is back in Regina but not if it is last year's male or heck even a male at all but it is likely.  Will let folks know what I hear which in addition to what Allikat can report from on-site should have us keeping up on all the details of Andamooka and her family.

Oh RCF   thank you!

Andamooka may have a friend!
I wish I could have taken the credit to witnessing this, but I can't.
These birds hide from me on purpose and have for years - buggers!
But, someone had luck today and believes she spotted two.
I'm officially calling her Hawkeyes!!!  
Way to go M.D. - you're hired!  

I am sure they will eventually show themselves to you.

I did take a drive downtown last Saturday and today.
I can tell you this folks, I seem to be a master at not seeing anything.
Or, all the Peregrines get together down South, and chat about how funny it is to hide from their viewers!  LOL!
It's still early, so...with any luck, I'll actually get a glimpse sooner than later!

According to my source in Regina Andamooka is still waiting for her mate to return.

[Kinderchick]

That's great news!

Just heard from the folks out in Regina and it looks like Andamooka has returned to Regina's City Hall.
Don't know if her mate is back but she's such a beautiful bird (darker than ours here) that I'm sure she'll have no trouble finding a new friend.
Fingers crossed this year is as successful as last year for her and her family.
