Peter and I spent a romantic evening
;)checking out Edmonton peregrine sites. We were pleased to find the sites we checked dong well.
then we headed for clinical science.
Upon arriving we saw the male flying in from the southeast. He tried to land on the very top aerial o f his building(Windsor Apartments) ,but did not stay there long . He then circled around the heart building and flew past the nest box and then up on Heart building.
We were not quick enough to capture a picture of him but we heard the chupping and then saw the female in the nest box, on the back right side.
She then cam out on the perch, looking as gorgeous as ever. I went looking around the heart building and that is when I saw the male fly between the two of them and head out north west.
When I got back where Peter was, He had witnessed the female fly onto the heart building and then the male came around , and they copulated. that was when I saw the male flying off. (kiss and run
)
The female hung around a bit and then she flew off north east over the Newton apartments.
It was getting dark and no sign of them. We looked where they tucked in, but no sign. When we got back to clinical science area, we spotted the female eating on the top north east corner of College Plaza.
We later saw one of them tucked in at usual spot and it was too dark to check other side.
so all is going well.
A short slide show.
