McKenzie Seeds - 2016 / Sol & Hurricane
moka:
Interesting and fascinating. One never knows what the birds will do.
The Peregrine Chick:
RCF has been hard at work and she has managed to postitively and definitively ID Hurricane's band number! She's also been figuring what Sol likes to do and where he likes to hang out so I'm sure she will be sharing some of his antics and adventures over the next little while! Even though it seems like every bird would like to sit in the same places that just isn't the way it works most of the time and it will be interesting to see how Sol differs from Brooklyn and from Zeus all of whom are Brandon-hatched males!

I also saw them tandem hunting yesterday afternoon around 6:30pm just east of downtown above a field by the river. They were both diving on a whitish bird, not sure if it was a pigeon or a gull. All three birds disappeared after descending towards the ground. I sat and watched for a bit and no birds flew up, so I figured they must have captured whatever they were after.

Well that sounds like she might know something we don't. There's also been some research recently that looked at pre-return liaisons between peregrines as a kind of foreplay before they come home to their mates. Haven't read any of the research but was chatting to one of the peregrine folks down south about it recently. If Brooklyn returns that could, I suppose, mean a shorter courtship to get everyone in the mood.
Will be interesting to watch this one - more interesting for us, more work for you I'm afraid RCF!! ;) ;D

:'( Oh well, whatever will be, will be! The choice is hers and I wish her the best no matter who she chooses.
