Thanks for the spring migration update. Didn't realize that so many falcons "passed through" Winnipeg.

2011 NON-RESIDENT SIGHTINGS
Dennis was taking the long way home from work and not only did he see three peregrines on a communication mast at his office but he found five more at a favoured "port in a storm" roost location here in town. It's not a nest site, just a spot where if there is poor weather (wind or wet) peregrines in the neighbourhood will seek shelter there. Last year we had a similar peregrine "boom" during bad weather, wind in that case and there were seven there and they were all gone by 5 am the next morning and we didn't see any of them again at the location.
We thought the ones at Dennis' office might be the West Winnipeg pair as its just outside their territory but no, they were at the B&B and didn't look like they were going anywhere.
Have noticed over the last 7-10 days that more peregrines have been observed all the migration sites in Mexico and the US than had been seen from January to mid-April. A second wave front of peregrines coming north - Homeless (Ms Edmonton) just returned to her nestsite in Edmonton a couple of days ago. The tundra peregrines that overwinter in Chile are only just hitting Panama right now so there will another wave coming through in a couple of weeks, one that will fly right over us heading for Baffin Island and other High Arctic locations.
