Canada Falcons: All but those hatched in Rochester

[Kris G.]

Windsor — Ambassador Bridge

There is very sad news today about Gwennis, a daughter of Freddie and Voltaire at the Ambassador Bridge, born in 2013.

From the Canadian Peregrine Fpundation:

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 Castalia, Ohio and they have posted a couple photos on their group site.

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.

Poor little Gwennis. I wonder what actually happened to cause her to be so badly injured.

Maybe she was chasing prey when she hit power lines?  Very sad to read. Fly free, Gwennis.

Putting this here!

Hi all! A friend of mine photographed this juvenile Peregrine in the NJ Meadowlands (a few miles west of NYC) yesterday morning. All black band, looks like Y/95. I think Canada uses all black auxiliary bands, so I was wondering if someone knows this bird. The band was reported to the banding lab, waiting to hear back but I figured I'd check with BCAW too smile emoticon Thanks!  (Posted to BCAW on FB)

Found this!! WOW!!

!!! Banding Success!! 2 females & 1 male!! All very healthy indeed!!
