Telus Tower Rescue - 24 May 2020
burdi:
Thank you for information on the tower rescue, TPC. Hopefully the rescued (and soon to be banded) peregrine will continue to get better and enjoy life, perhaps in Manitoba.
I'm deeply saddened about Tilley and the other falcon who perished while trapped in the tower.
The Peregrine Chick:
The live peregrine rescued from the Tower isn't banded but will be before s/he is released.
There were remains of two other peregrines - both with bands.
One was Tilley a 2017 daughter of Ty and Faith from West Winnipeg. Looks like she died in 2017 because the coloured tape we put on at banding was still there and usually that comes off before/during migration.
The other bird is not from Manitoba but is also a female. I've put in a request to find out where she's from - will post when I hear back.

Excerpt from the CBC article.... 'Rescuers told Nakata they found the remains of at least two other peregrine falcons inside the tower, so they assume this has happened before, minus the rescue.' :-[
irenekl:
Regarding the "remains" of the two other birds nowhere did I understand that they were peregrine remains. Has it been confirmed that they were peregrines or some other bird species?

They are doing just that, the company said they were going to cap it so no more birds get trapped. :)

Oh that's wonderful, thank you for letting us know!
