Quest Update

[Yarak]

With all the excitement around the hatchings it's easy to forget that we have other subjects to update.  Quest has been zipping all over the north shore of Lake Ontario this month.  Yesterday it looks like she headed north for a day trip up to Georgian Bay.  She shows no signs of...

I have a question - shouldn't the radio transmitter have fallen off Quest by now? It's been nearly 2 years!

[Dumpsterkitty]

Hi KM!  Welcome aboard!  Yes, it's getting close to the 2 year mark when they say the harness holding the transmitter should fall off.  I'm keeping my talons crossed that it holds up a bit longer-she really has taken us on quite an adventure!

KM - It all depends on how worn her harness is.  If it hasn't been subjected to severe conditions, it may stay on longer.  Some have been known to make it 2 1/2 -3 years.  I am hoping that Quest's transmitter/harness is one of those.  A few of us have tried to see her in person, but we've missed her everytime.  When she settles somewhere, we hope someone will ID her, so we can follow her in the future.  We'll continue to enjoy her travels as much as we can!

Has Quest lost her transmitter?  No updates since May 19th and just wondering if there is no data coming in or TPTB haven't had time to post yet.

I was wondering that myself.

I too have been wondering...anxiously about Quest.  Any update at all from the transmitter?

[Shaky]

Yes, the transmitter is working. No one has had the time to update the maps.

Thanks Shaky, can exhale now

I received this report from Doug at Pt Colborne today (6/7/10)

He reports that he is sure he saw Quest in the nest box again at 1 pm today.  She stayed for about 1/2 hour.  Quest seemed interested in the box & checked out the scrape. He did not have his camera with him today, but will try to get a pic for us if she returns.

You'll remember that Freedom, Mariah and Kaver's first son, nested there for a few years and that this is where Archer was born.

I hope Doug is able to get pictures of Quest!

I hope so too!  This is great news. Maybe she'll finally settle down.

These people need to get a camera!  Carol, did he say what happened to the remaining egg (s) or pair there?

[carly]

Good news on the Quest viewing but bad news about the nest box, that means that all 4 eggs are now gone again?  The female there is Treasure, a Cleveland peregrine that some of the CMNH folks know, she is only 3 years old.  I hope she is okay too.
