McKenzie Seeds - 2019 / Wingo Starr & Hurricane
RCF:
Wingo Starr and Hurricane have been practising quite a bit from what I have been seeing. Hopefully he is mature enough for fertile eggs. :-*
The Peregrine Chick:
Didn't want to lose this great news on a day already crowded with eggs and returning bird IDs.
New birds are always fun to report and they are even better when you can include really good photos!
Thanks RCF!!

Actually only a half-sister of Fiona - he's the offspring of Walsh (Terminator's & Roosevelt's in Grand Fork) and Susan from Bay State Milling in Winona, Minnesota (no info on her parentage immediately available).
--- End quote ---
Susan was born at the Bay State Milling nest in 2015. She is banded black/red A/50. She is one of five chicks who grew up in the nest that year, and all were strong and healthy at banding. Susan was named for Susan Howe, whose family owns Great Spirit Bluff.
Her parents are unknown, but not necessarily unbanded. I have tried many times to read bands at that nest, but there is not enough resolution to enhance them enough to be able to read them.
The Peregrine Chick:
Congratulations Hurricane and RCF!!

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for this pair as well. Wingo isn't yet a year old so it may well be that he is not mature enough to breed successfully - but the again maybe he is! Lots of juvenile markings on him (vertical striping on the breast being the most obvious). Interestingly (or to me at least) only Alley (2004 Radisson) in Lincoln NE nested in her first year - so too did Holly (2003 Fargo) in Brandon, but we haven't had any males from Manitoba or nesting in Manitoba who did. If Wingo can pull this off it will be one for our record book at least!! 😁
