Thought they were asked to close the blinds? Guess Quest doesn't care. Still!

I spoke with the building manager at the banding, and thanked her for the building's support of the falcons. I don't remember if she was at prior bandings.  She said the falcons don't pay any attention to the windows.  The people who occupy that space actually keep the blinds closed for their own distraction and to block out the messy ledge.  She told me they had to get used to the noise outside their window.

This reminds me of when Wild Wings took in the crow that people were keeping as a pet. It would moo and make cat sounds when it first arrived. Unfortunately he is gone now.

While we wait for pictures and more information about Rhea Mae and Tiago's banding day, Linda Woods, Rhea Mae's Watcher, has sent me the names of their eyases.  Thanks Linda!!!   thankyou

Gerty - Female - Yellow Tape  heart

Felix - Male - White Tape  heart

Welcome - Male - Green Tape  heart


Even though we don't yet have the Sheraton Centre purpose behind the names, they do have meaning...

   Gerty is short for Gertrude which means "adored warrior"
   Felix means "happy & prosperous"; also "lucky"
   Welcome means "welcome guest" (received with pleasure and hospitality)

I know this is not the correct place to post this question, but has a banding date been set yet?  


I hope they don't wait till the last minute to let us know when it is again this year.

The Canadian Peregrine Foundation website says, "If leg bands are being put on the chicks for identification purposes, this is usually done during their fourth week, when they are large enough that their legs are fully grown, but not yet old enough to consider flying away when the banders approach the nest." That's usually anywhere from 22-27 days old. That could mean anytime next week.  Unfortunately we haven't heard anything definite yet.

Hi Heidi!

So glad to hear you are already addicted. Look forward to meeting you on a watch downtown.

Love the names, Sage, and glad all went well.  I know it's Bailey for Bailey Ave., Mackay for Mackay Tower but what's Winspear for?

Windspear Avenue is the road that the tower and maintenance area is next to.
