Hoping for a good update on Beauty soon. Lit another couple of candles for her - 164 candles now,

Don't know if anyone here has seen it, but there is a great photo of Quest at the link below. Scroll down to the foot of the page:

Does anyone know who this is? At the nest at 17:32, gone on the refresh.

That looks like the male. Maybe it was him on the cam.

Thank you, Donna! Just looked at all the posts and pics from earlier today. The unbanded male with a solid dark hood is a very handsome tiercel.

Love the Bathing Beauty Video, Carol P.! Thank you!

Sounds as if Beauty is recovering quite well. Good to know she is eating on her own. I hope she has no kidney damage, because that would be a major concern. Hoping for good results from the next blood tests.

Glad to see another fairly good update on Beauty. 130 candles now.

Great pic of Rhea Mae and Tiago. Thank you for posting it, Kris.

76 candles now. Hoping for continued good news of Beauty.

This is a very encouraging update! Many thanks to everyone who is helping to care for Beauty, and also to whoever found her and made sure she received the help she needed.

Gord Brandt, a famed falcon Biologist out in Alberta has written some interesting articles, his last one discussed 'locations' and he mentioned how one of the tiercel's there has worked his way up through the available nest sites.  Even though he had some success at the say 'less than desirable' sites with a mate, he has made a play for a better site twice - last year taking out his brother at the second best site in the city of Edmonton.  So each time he's moved to a better location.

Carly, I believe you intended to refer to biologist Gordon Court in Alberta. He has worked with peregrines for many years, and is extremely knowledgeable. He has rescued and cared for many peregrines. As others have mentioned, Canadian peregrines are no less aggressive than their counterparts farther south. Here in Alberta, there have been many territorial battles, several of them fatal.

Here is a link to an article by Gordon Court about one injured peregrine:

And an article on just one of the many territorial battles which have taken place in Alberta:

I am so glad that Beauty made it through the weekend and is in stable condition. I am sure she is receiving the best of care, and hope she will heal quickly. Thank you for the update.

Great article on Pounce-Kingsley! Thank you!

Thank you for the information, Carol P. Hoping for a good update tomorrow.

Thinking of Beauty and just checking in to see if there was any news. Carol P., thank you for posting your observations from the past week. Beauty is such a strong falcon, from exceptionally strong and fierce parents; sending all good and positive thoughts for her to get well.
