carly:
She was just calling to someone now Maggie before she flew off. I'm guessing the females wouldn't bother chatting to each other would they! Except to say..get out my nest box you cow!! ;D

This afternoon 30B was vocalizing back and forth with another bird and I am sure that must have been a male. He was probably on the outside bar that isn't visible on the cam. Perhaps he will reveal himself tommorow. ::)
carly:
6:34 EST and 30B just came into the box - now I can see her foot, poor girl :'( She has two toes (talons) missing and can barely walk- she literally hops from the outside beam into the box, kind of like a little long jump! I found some more out about her on the web, she is one strong peregrine! Apparently both of her feet were injured and the one with the 2 talons missing - all you can see are stubs and yet she has successfully raised up to 4 young at a time and done a great job providing for them! I guess as long as you have one good foot for grabbing and can carry your prey, you're set!
I wonder if the tiercel is around at all or just the 2 females? Maybe that's why there has been no conflict yet - no male to nest with. I'm kinda rooting for 30b now, I know, I know, that sounds bad but I always go for the underdog!
The Peregrine Chick:
Its 5:00 CDT (Winnipeg) and the box is empty. Its sunny outside the box and doesn't look too breezy, so I rather suspect that everyone/anyone/whomever is off scaring up dinner, its that time of the day. They'll kill it, eat it, preen themselves, have a last buzz around and then bedtime ....
carly:
Ok there are 2 females there it seems - just checked the other board where Alison is and she has pictures and the one we saw the other day is not 30b. But the one I just saw is 30B they are saying....yikes.! I hope no one gets hurt :'(
