Manitoba Peregrines > Other Peregrine Sightings in Manitoba
Non-Resident Sightings - 2020
Cammie:
When do the peregrines typically leave Winnipeg?
I remember reading somewhere on one of the threads that sometimes they stay all winter (maybe Trey's mother did?).
While I'm wondering - does something trigger the urge to leave? I'm thinking night-time temps or fewer hours of daylight.
carly:
This time of year is bitter sweet, you are thrilled to see all the birds migrating and hoping to catch a glimpse of the ones you followed but also sad to know they are leaving.
I wonder if that was our P&T's kids they saw in the bundle of three :-* :-*
Saoirse:
What a great report to get! Given the way our chicks tended to hang together a lot, maybe they were the 3 that Al and Dorothy saw in the space of one minute. At any rate, they certainly had an eventful couple of hours.
The Peregrine Chick:
Just read a report posted by Paul G through the Manitoba Bird Loop ....
Al & Dorothy S were at Windygates (south of the City) yesterday making raptor observations for about two hours. During that time they saw (in his words): "we saw 8 Red-Tail, 2 Osprey, 5 Vulture, 2 Harrier, 1 Merlin, 1 Sharpie, 1 Bald Eagle imm., 2 Broadwing, and 9 Peregrine Falcon!!! In one minute and in view of each other, we saw 3 Peregrines. During a different minute, we had the eagle, the sharpie, and a broadwing. "
Thanks Al & Dorothy for spotting and letting Paul know about the peregrines in particular! Thanks too to Paul for posting the sighting.
... makes me wonder if that's all the kids and a couple of adults or if 7 of those 9 birds were the ones that hung out one night all together in Riverwood ...

--- Quote from: LinderLou on July 23, 2009, 11:30 ---Question for TPC, My friend in Sandy Hook was telling me a couple of weeks back that she had read in the local area paper, could be Gimili, that a pair of peregrine falcons were released in the area. Have you heard anything about this?
--- End quote ---
No, and I'm pretty sure I would have been notified. There is a hawk watch in Sandy Hook so maybe it was just a sighting? Any chance you could ask your friend for more details? Even just information on where/when s/he read it? If there was a release, I need to track down band numbers ....
