Bird Cams Around the World

]Carolyn

I swear ours party together in Mexico they always come home around same time , have eggs same time.

Hope it is Brooklyn also

There are two falcons here as of this morning!

yeah. hope it is who you want them to be

We have been watching since April 4th and have tried to convince ourselves that the male is Brooklyn. There was just something off about this bird, he wasn't perching where Brooklyn usually did, also the breast feathers and malars were different. Today I got the band number. It is not Brooklyn, it is Sol D/20, Hurricane and Brooklyn's son from 2012, We are glad that he survived the last four years but saddened that Brooklyn has not returned......as of yet.

Sol is quite the little flyer, lots of aerobatics and showing off to his mom, she doesn't seem to be impressed or receptive yet. He flew around her and looked like he wanted to mate but she never got into position for that. I am sure she will come around if Brooklyn doesn't show up. I did get most of her band number.....the 2 and the Y and sure as sure it's Hurricane.

I guess Hurricane has accepted Sol as a mate, I saw them tandem hunting yesterday and this morning I saw them mate.

Hurricane

any eggs yet carolyn

Doesn't seem to be from what I have observed. Hurricane doesn't seem to be all that cozy with Sol as of yet.

I see y9ou have eggs do you know how many

I received an email from TPC from Manitoba Forum.....Hurricane and the new male Sol have four eggs!

We saw them do a nest exchange on Saturday, May 7th. I think they were in hard incubation on the 4th or 5th because we were only seeing one or the other.

miss the cam here. you will have fun watching

No I won't!! When they are old enough to band Tracy puts them on the lower roof, then it will be at least two weeks before they get up on the wall. So not happy about that!

I am sorry about that CArolyn

There have been two hatches here, probably last night. I caught a feed around 3 pm today.

Hurricane in with the prey




Sol is fast, I didn't see him sneak in when Hurricane removed the leftovers. I think I looked down for a sec.



After the feed, she only took a five minute break to stretch.



Can't seem to shake that feather on her face!


Sol

This is my favorite nest. You can't take the girl out of the small town (province) and not let her be loyal to her childhood home. Thank you Carolyn and RC for all the photos you post.

great photos Carolyn.

I told you U of a and Brandon are pretty close with returning home, laying eggs , hatching and fledging.

Now I know they party together in Mexico

The chicks are at least ten days old now, this is Hurricane perched on the edge of the box.

Two chicks this year and they look pretty good.








I am on a parkade across the street, this is the view. Parents are on each side of the nest box on the ledge.
