This afternoon as I was travelling home I swung by the B&B on an errand and spotted two peregrines diving and soaring around the building. So I rushed home to collect my camera and my husband. When we returned we were able to find 3 chicks there, looked like they were settling in for rain. But we only got a bit of a drizzle.
My husband and I decided to try our luck at the Diner as well. As we approached I thought I saw two chasing each other on the other side of the building, but when we got there, there were none to be found. Since we had some errands in this area we thought we would try our luck again later. We completed our errands and could find nothing at the Diner, so we headed to the tower, at first I thought we had no luck, but I soon discovered that Beau was a sneaky Pete and had found a new perch on the Tower. There was some recent work done on the Tower, and it has at least one new place of interest for Beau. While we watched him he took off to the north and intercepted another peregrine. The two then headed to the Diner. By the time we got there, only Beau could be seen on the NW corner, this was about 7:20 pm. Maybe the other one went into the nest box?
Before going home for the evening, we swung by the B&B again and confirmed there were still 3 birds there.
We spotted 5 birds today. That is a good day at this time of year!
