Peregrines love the wind
July 21, 2011 - Port Colborne - ADM Mill
Doug Garbutt Reports:
This morning it was already 23 degrees at 6:00am when I arrived at work on my bicycle. You would not know it though as the strong winds offВ Lake Erie made it not feel so bad. The falcons took advantage of the winds to kite & do a little talon tagging. There were 3 togeather but with them up so high, from my viewpoint I couldn’t positively I.D. if there were 2 juvies & 1 adult or 2 adults & 1 juvie. It sure looked & sounded like there were 2 juvies. I also saw 1 juvie back in the nest box today, a rare sight indeed. Couldn’t see the coloured tape on the USFW band but I’m pretty confident that it was Olivia. To watch these birds fly is simply amazing.
