I saw an explanation for U of A..Additional update: June 29, 2018
The chicks were banded this morning. There were two females and one male at this site; the male has been removed to the Pembina hack site to continue growing there. Fledgewatch will be interesting this season as the females (always much larger than their brothers), tend to have a more difficult time managing the logistics of first flights.
I couldn't find an explanation for Bell (though, I did see a generic explanation for all nests)..I hate seeing 1 chick nests. I personally think its so unfair to the remaining chick...siblings seem so important. If it is a health issue, I sure hope the baby gets better and can be returned. If its a re population issue, then why not take from Genesee, Weber, Misericordia (nests with 4)...or Nutrien . Leaving Bell with One chick? Sad...
I know that Gord knows best, but if Bell went to Pembina, I'm afraid I just don't understand or support that one..
I can understand trying to repopulate an area such as Pembina..That has not been particularly successful in the Eastern US...and definitely not in Georgia (my state). I am no t happy with the decisions here either. male should have been left at u of A in my opinion and chicks were too young to band. so I am very frustrated and confused myself.
And i do not support these ones.
females at Bell do not do well, so if they left a male and took female that will be why, but if this is a female, then I give up
