West Winnipeg - 2021 / Hart & Esme
burdi:
Thank you for the latest update on Hart and Esme. I'm happy you were still able to band their two chicks.
The Peregrine Chick:
Well, Hart and Esme's chcicks are bigger and older than we thought! Seems Hart and his new ladyfriend got "busy" very quickly and we're in fact the first to lay/hatch.
We went to check on them today and thought they were likely old enough to band so we took all our gear with us. Good thing, if we had waited until next week we'd have had to give them a pass - not something we'd like to do given Esme is unbanded.
Both chicks were/are girls - but with more slender feet and legs than many of our other female chicks. We let them try on lots of bling to be sure we had the best size. One biter and screamer, the other quieter but gave me a look that said she'd not forget me. Ever.
Dennis of course took photos ;D but he has a busy schedule at the moment so it may take a bit until I post the story on the blog. When I do however, I will be sure to post the link here.

Not since Eye-Spy's last peek at them when he was working on our equipment. Still haven't got our connection back up and running, but we will be checking on them again in the next couple of days as we think they should be just about ready to band.
More news as we have it ...

Very few pictures of Hart at all! I've said it before I know, but each bird is an individual and every pair has its own personality as well! She seems to know what she wants and he seems to like supporting her. She seems to be very self sufficient as well so she's been easy for him to partner with. Will be nice when we have the cam back though so I can see how she does as a Mom ...fingers crossed it is soon.
