!!! Sad News of Gwennis from the 2013 Hatch

January 11, 2016 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge

Marilyn Weller Reports:

Greetings Friends,
There was a posting on Facebook out of Ohio, about a female Peregrine from Windsor that perished from injuries sustained from what may have been an encounter with power lines. I am sad to report that Gwennis has died from her injuries which included multiple fractures and burns. The Facebook group is for “Back to the Wild” from Castallia, Ohio and they have posted a couple photos on their group site. The link to their Facebook group is: https://www.facebook.com/Back-To-The-Wild-Castalia-Ohio-119099281488306/

She had a great start and a couple of great years in the sky. Sure wish she had longer to enjoy the skies though.

Gwennis was a hatchling from the nest of Voltaire and Freddie in 2013. At the time of her banding, she was estimated to be 29 to 30 days old and weighed 1016 gms. She was always a big female and we here in Windsor, certainly enjoyed hours of watching her learn to fly with her hatch mates, Hercules and Tecumseh.

She was named in honour of Windsor Watch Coordinators Gwen and Dennis Patrick. We are very sad to learn this news and wanted to pass this on to you all.
