Evening snack has arrived...looks more like tug-a-war

Whew!  Thank you for the updates on the ramblings of these prefledglings.

Just my thought...it's easier to hang on to wood and concert when flapping...not much grip on metal 
All 3 in front of the nest box...with a bit of flapping 
One just now ended up on the roof of the nest box and is trying out Larry's camera pole

1511 hrs (local) - all the kids are home and napping in/at the nestbox.  Bit of a breeze but they seem to be figuring it out which is good since the site is most often windy

Nero was up and awake and perched looking out at the world on the edge of the nestledge (the inside ledge) by 0335 (oh dark thirty to quote one of our members  ).  One of the girls came toddled along the roof to the nestbox then called out for her brother and he scampered down the nestledge and out of sight of the camera.

Okay all three kids are back - they have all figured out how to get up onto the ledge and one of the girls has figured out how to jump up on the camera support and then onto the roof of the nestbox - smart girl.  Haven't seen the colour of the tape yet, but will.  One of the girls has spent a chunk of time napping in the nestbox, don't think she enjoyed the nighttime adventure as much as Nero and her sister, now she is back out and sitting on the ledge while Nero pokes around in the feathers for something to nibble on.

All in all, a happy little band back from their travels ...

   I love all the names.  TPC you just seem to pick the perfect names.

How many total babies have been born in Winnipeg since the beginning of the peregrine program started. Seems I don't know or can't remember.....must be the age thing!!

number of young peregrines fledging in the province? or just those that hatched and fledged in the province?  for the first eight years we didn't have any hatches, all releases of captive-bred birds.  For the next 4-5 years we had a few hatches and continued with the releases.  For about the last 15 we have had all hatches.

Oh ya, names - Nero, Annie & Aggie. 

Great names and very meaningful.

And now the little tot is napping in the nestbox - he's all by himself, lying on his belly.  Every so often he plays with a feather, then goes back to snoozing.  Methinks perhaps he didn't get much sleep all by himself last night.

Middle of last week Nero jumped/flapped his way up 6-8 in. to the roof ledge...well done. A couple day's later his sisters figured out how to do the same thing. Over the week-end they enjoyed the ledge just in front of the nest box...well that wasn't good enough and a boy being a boy heads of on an adventure !
Now his sisters soon fallowed and today they spent time running around the roof top.
Nero returned a short time ago to the ledge...now he has made it up 20-24 in. from the roof to the ledge perhaps waiting for Mom or Dad to bring a meal...that a BOY !
The girls have been running around under the nest box/roof...wondering just how he got back up there

Cheers !
