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.

So most posts will be on blue sky. I do not do all those apps. So I hope to see postings here.

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!
