MN / Elk River - 2008-22
carly:
8:24 am EST and it is storming there, blowing snow - low visibility. Mom just flew in and shook herself off, poor thing :(
The Peregrine Chick:
Adult peregrines seem not to be enamoured of nestboxes. They need the gravel and the shelter, but they don't use them unless they have chicks it appears. And it seems to start pretty early - once the chicks are close to fledge age they tend not to go back into the nestbox either - or at least that is our experience with a variety of box types.
allikat:
It looks a little bit better there now...can't really tell though! It doesn't look like the snow is falling anymore, and it's most likely coming toward Winnipeg >:(
I wonder where the peregrines go? I kinda surprised that they don't stay in the nestbox..seems sheltered but hey, what do I know....I'm not a Peregrine ::)
LouLouBelle:
I had the cam on my desktop at the office all day and watched peregrine #1 (think it was the female) sitting and vocalizing and watching and snoozing and saw peregrine #2 come in the box and I wasn't all that sure that they were happy to see each other.. but all was good and lots of action. too bad the weather has turned :(
allikat:
These peregrines are probably wondering what the heck is going on and why did they come back so soon :o
