Radisson - 2018 / Pip & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Our first bird back looks very very comfortable on the edge of the box - even EyeSpy thought so yesterday!!!
EyeSpy has been upgrading our computers this year (its amazing to thing how long the old units had been working year round) and we have two cameras up and running, a couple more to replace and get up and running at the Radisson in the next little bit. Should make for a very nice viewing experience for folks this year from what I've seen so far.
Already running through this morning's video to see if our visitor shows me his band ... don't think we'll be that lucky but still .... ;D
carly:
Great news TPC, can't wait to see who it is. :)

--- Quote from: bcbird on March 09, 2018, 16:20 ---If the Falcon Forum calendar says 21 days, but there is a merlin back already, does that mean we might be running ahead of schedule for this year?
Or do merlins always get a head start on the peregrines?
--- End quote ---
The merlins are usually visible first - not necessarily because they are the first migrants home but because quite a number of merlins overwinter. Interestingly American Kestrels are often seen first at HawkWatch sites but they are just not that visible once they get up here.
Our peregrines typically start turning up in the second half of March. The Brandon birds often arrive in the first/second week of April but we suspect that they meet up on their way home because they are very quick to nest once they do get home.
