Manitoba Peregrines > Other Peregrine Sightings in Manitoba

Non-Resident Sightings - 2020

<< < (24/26) > >>

There have barely been any peregrines this year  :'( :'(  I'm hoping because it was so cold, stormy and wet most of the summer that they just decided "i'm outta here" once they fledged.  It was not a good year for wildlife this year in southern ontario compared to other years.

I noticed last week the Canada Geese were headed out so unless they're hiding I expect most have gone already or there will be a burst in october maybe??

Hi, yes the info is public.  It is Big Frank's raptor watch in  Scarborough and there is an entry in his blog in August that explains the background.  There is a daily count of the raptors passing through over this park.  Of the 5,845 counted last year, 72 were identified as peregrines. When I posted this a while ago Carly pointed out that he was her partner in the fledge watch in Toronto.  Enjoy  ;D ;D

Maggieblue, are those pictures available to general public to view?

carly:
Will do Maggie.  And glad I didn't go all the way out there, it cleared up for about 45 minutes and then clouded back over.

Carly, sorry that the weather didn't cooperate this morning.  If you are in touch with Big Frank perhaps you could pass on my appreciation for the wonderful photos that he has been posting.  His shot of the Osprey was very impressive.
