I remember the days when our females fledged a week after the boys ... it was soooo long ago

TPC,  has there been a change over the years at the Radisson, then?

[The Peregrine Chick]

Fledging is expected July 6th or 7th for the male and about 8 days later for the female.

Latest News from Web Site Home Page:

June 23rd: Banding only took about 1/2 hr., which incl. the weighing. As I suspected, we have one of each - male and female - the female weighs more. They are growing fast and are very feisty already and thus, very healthy. I took some pics and video, so hope to have that availabe via this site sometime soon. Stay tuned.

If you move your mouse on the cam picture a crest of the UofC comes up and click on it, this is where the quote comes from. It will also show on the Chat site at the top of the cam picture.

Well, who knew?! Thanks for this info, LinderLou.

From the webcam site:

UofCfalconsWebcam of Peregrine Falcons nesting at the University of Calgary. We started with 4 eggs, and had two hatch around May 30-31. Bookmark http://www.ucalgary.ca/peregrine_falcon for next year in case we switch streaming services...The Chat Room has named the Mum Callie and the Dad Gary. The chicks, as yet indistinguishable from each other, have been named Allie and Berta.

How do you know the names, LinderLou? I looked on the webpage and don't see anything? Did  they say the names out loud or did they hold up signs?

[Kinderchick]

Chicks are making lots of noise right now. They look shell-shocked, like our Radisson chicks looked after their banding. Can just see a parent's tail feathers on the nestledge.

[Linder]

Watched the banding on cam. No word yet as to male or female. Names are Allie and Berta. Took one chick out and banded and then put back and next chick was taken out and banded. About 5 minutes per chick. Brave(?) man stayed sitting by the chick left out the whole time. Surprised parent didn't dive bomb him. Although they certainly were vocal and you see them flying by. Lot's of noise.
They might post a video Kinderchick.

[Kinderchick]

Darn! Did I miss the banding? Was gone for lunch and just returned.

[Linder]

Have been watching for about 1/2 hr and only saw 1 chick. That chick has now disappeared. Can hear men talking and noise from a chick.
Chicks must be out of camera range, every few minutes they make lots of noise, could be when they see a parent.

[Kinderchick]

Live banding of the 2 Calgary chicks is expected to be today in about 3 hrs. There is also sound on this webcam now.

[Kinderchick]

Banding of the 2 Craigie Hall chicks is set for Thursday, June 23rd around 12:00 noon, Calgary time. Live video feed is expected.

[Kinderchick]

Looks to be only 2 chicks here but they are starting to scooch/walk around a bit. Still don't know who the parents are.
