Radisson - whoever said, better late than never, was wrong this time. Was going to start the countdown timer on the website after I took my morning peek around the nest site and there s/he was. Better late ain't going to work - someone is home!

Edited: some of the banners have been edited as Hazel has well and truly been booted from the property. Have left posts where Hazel was resident and changed the ones when Ella was in charge.

Radisson - no sign of our returnee today, saw her a bit yesterday when it was sunny at the box. 95% sure it is Hazel (2022 Grand Forks) who forced Ella & Pip off their nest last year. Definitely a female, comfortable on site, band colour matches & she looks familiar.

Radisson - haven't been able to id our first returnee yet, but our second returnee was much more cooperative. Welcome home Pandemic (2020 Fargo), the male half of the invading pair at the Radisson last year. First thing he did when he arrived was check out the nestbox.

Great News! :-*
-
That's great! Let the season begin! ;D
-
Hooray! I'm very glad to know the pair has returned.
Just how early are they?
It's also good to have this forum active again.
-
I hope they are safe from these wicked, cold winds.
A new season, hope is alive!
-
I saw one bird at the nestbox today, surveying the land.
-
So glad to see this forum back again. Hope it continues throughout the season, now that some birdies have been spotted back in the city.

You may have noticed that the old "Twitter" posts are now Bluesky posts ... Twitter now X is getting temperamental both I how it works here and, well, in general. So I'm also running a Bluesky account - hope to be able to use it on the FalconCam as well, but we'll have to see. I'm optimistic that it will as the guys who created Twitter are the ones who have created Bluesky. If you want to find us there - just go to Bluesky and search for our handle - @mbperegrines - same as the one we use on Twitter.

You may have noticed that I'm not posting from Twitter/X anymore - X doesn't want to embed my tweets anymore - I suspect that's because of changes on Twitter/X. I'm going to continue to post on Twitter/X and Instagram but now I'm also posting on BlueSky. BlueSky was created by the folks that created the original Twitter (before it was bought by Musk) and it shows and it works better overall and let's me embed posts here with no fuss at lol!

Although this is not to do with this nest.
First off congratulations
Squeak and Radissons grandson are back at Bell with 4 eggs. I started a new topic.
But also of interest to you all here , is that the first year female at Genesee, Alberta is Squeaks daughter from last year( a 2024 hatch) . She looks like she may lay an egg or two.
Also Radissons son is on his 3rd year at Miscercordia , Edmonton. Very successful. But his son ( from his first year at Miscercordia, is the new male at Scotford Alberta . ( he is 3 this year) There are 2 eggs so far.
I managed to get all the bands clearly.

Don't worry Bev, everything gets posted here as well.
Initially we needed to use Twitter (before it became X) to have a way to post in real time with the webcam. We still need it now. Then I found I could copy the post here including the photo very simply. Advantage was that I could make sure folks here didn't miss anything I posted there - especially as a lot of folks just watch the cam on YouTube so they can't see the updates. So, same post on the three social media platforms for over 900 followers and here for over 200 members. Bonus is I can post additional information here on all our nestsites and out-of-towners.
So no worries, if you only follow the peregrines here, you will get all the news, more photos than I used to post here AND bonus materials as I have it! 😁
-
Will there be a live cam this year?
-
I haven't been on here until today. I'm so happy to see that we have four eggs in the nest box. :D
I dreamed of peregrines last night so I took that as a sign I should come check out what's happening.
I'll have to see what this bluesky app is all about.

Thank you to any of the Phanatics that reached out to Clay Young asking him to report on the Peregrines, your efforts were successful and we had a nice chat on the radio this morning. 😁
-
And yes, there will be a FalconCam this year. We are currently working with our partners at Rogers TV and in fact we may have it up and running a bit earlier than usual this year. Got to finish some testing but will let folks know a soon as I know we are ready to go!

:) Thanks TPC for this great news. The wait for hatching is like watching paint dry, as Dennis had said, but worth it. Do you know how many eggs were laid?

I'm looking at the live cam and she seems stressed out, beak open and appears to be panting. Has moved more toward the opening of nest box since this morning. Could the Temps and smoke be an issue TPC

Unlikely the smoke is a problem, it's pretty clear downtown surprisingly.
It's that the sun is shining in the nestbox and they are a wee bit toasty - I'm surprised that he (pretty sure it's Pandemic) is tucked so tight on the eggs, usually by this point they stand up more and get their head in the shade and let the air circulate around them. It's warm enough I think for the eggs to be uncovered/partly uncovered but perhaps that's not something he's comfortable with. It's only his second nest - Ella's got stuff to teach him. I suspect Ella will trade off with him soon - they are pretty good at sharing incubation duties.

Would you be able to post the link to the live view? Thanks.

Would you be able to post the link to the live view? Thanks.
The best link is the FalconCam page on the website - go to the Mai page of our website and click on the photo - you can bookmark the page then.
Why that page you ask?
When we lose the stream (as we have at the moment) we have to reboot and YouTube Live gives us a new link - so instead of constantly posting new links to YouTube, the link above will always be updated so bookmark it and you will be good.

The FalconCam page comes up as 404 Not Found error.
What and where is the Mai page?
Help, please!

I get the same thing, so I sent TPC a message, hopefully she will see it soon! ???

Feed is back up and holding so far.
We have an interesting mystery here. In the past when the cam has gone down it's because there has been an internet connection blip. So far that isn't the problem so we (actually our Rogers tech is) working our way back back up through the system to see what might be giving us grief.
So how to tell if there is a problem?
1) the screen will actually say the video feed isn't available
2) if you move your cursor over the video image you should see "Live" beside a red dot at the bottom of the image. If you still see a video but no "Live", then you are watching a YouTube created video clip.
It is never smooth sailing launching the FalconCam, sometimes it's more behind the scenes, sometimes it is front and centre in public (like this year). This is why we try to launch in more than a few days in advance of the start of hatching.
Thanks for being patient - and know we are working on it! (And keeping an eye on the feed. If you see or think there might be a problem, I'm going to set up a separate area where folks can post.

And before anyone asks if I was really concerned, the answer is yes. Been tracking this freaking bird every couple of hours on my phone and I could never catch her feeding the damn chick. And at one point earlier this morening I causer a tiny glimpse of the chick and I seriously thought it was a goner - no movement at all. Shades of Ella's sister Spencer who sucked at first feedings. Chicks need to get fed in first 6 hours after hatch (that's my experience) and I didn't catch her feeding the chick - babies this young are hard to feed (no strength or coordination) and Ella has never been quick at it before - guess that has changed. Going to have to scour the recordings later today to see when the feedings I missed!
Bloody bird - not getting the sleep I lost back, that's for sure!!!

I probably shouldn't say this, so knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood, after the excitement that really wasn't very exciting of Ella usurping Hazel's nestsite and mate, this has been a very quiet and gentle in a peregrine way, nesting season so far at the Radisson. Not complaining, nice to see Ella and Pandemic have an easy time of it. Going to get warmer this week and Chicklet will be old enough to thermoregulate in a couple more days so Ella and Pandemic Will me more "mum-brella" than duvet very shortly.
Can also say that banding will be on/shortly after the long weekend. Have a nest to band in Saskatchewan before then - maybe even the nest at West Wpg. At West Wpg, I've put off checking on them for as long as I can - new pair and have to do it in-person so had to make sure the chicks/chicks could be uncovered if the parents take extra time to return to the nestbox. If they hatched, I think they might be a couple/few days older than Radisson. We have two other nests in the province - unfortunately, not one in Brandon 😢 , and it is unlikely I will get a chance to band the chicks from those sights. Having said that, the male at West Wpg was a chick from one of those nests that we managed to catch on the ground and band on the spot as he was just grounded not injured. I'm hoping to check on that little smiley in the next week so maybe more news on them soon too! Bit of a mosh-mash of site/bird info here so will also post on their boards so if folks have questions I can answer now that's the place to do it. Or wait until I'm able to provide more info in the next week ... 😁

At the moment it looks like I will be banding Ella's and Pandemic's lone chick on/around Canada Day.
They do grow so fast!!! And this one seems to be growing especially fast ... but maybe that's just me!

If anyone is taking wagers, I think Ella's and Pandemic's kid is a girl - it seems like s/he has ginormous feet!! Might be the camera angle, but I don't think so. We'll find out next week though!

Was thinking of banding this weekend but with the heat/humidity I'm playing it by ear. No point stressing out Chicklet more than we have to. Tuesday/Wednesday is I think about as late as I want to leave it however so will keep ya all in the loop.

Was banding possible?
Or did our little one fail to nap indoors, within reach, yesterday?

Little one did fail to nap but failed to exit the inside part of the box and we scoop her (he's her) up and banded here with a minimal amount of blood (mine). She was a few days older than I like for banding but because of the holiday and hot active weather we were trying to find a time that would be less stressful for all involved.
Working on a name for her now ... 😁
Also working on a long account of the event - just been a very busy week!

I've been working on names for the Radisson chick and I've been getting hung up on just one - Bella. Why Bella - one is Baby Ella but more than that, while Ella is a good looking bird, Pandemic has inherited his dad Annie's good looks and his grandfather Beau's as well. Beau was absolutely gorgeous. So Bella from the Latin meaning "beautiful" and Baby Ella in the hopes she inherit's her mothers mothering skills and sheer bloody-mindedness.(aka stubborness)
Haven't found any themes or names and certainly nothing that has stuck in my head like Bella, so I think that is what's he is supposed to be named. It's funny, when there are more chicks in a nest it seems easier than when there is just one - go figure!
