Bird Cams Around the World

Evelyn, her death was not caused by toxins, from her migration.

I posted beginning of season what happened. I will go and retrieve it so you can see it


the resident female was found dead at end of season last year. When Gord examined further, they found she had been poisoned but not in the usual way. She had a full crop and had eaten a yellow flicker. After examining the yellow flicker ,they found that it had poison in it s system from eating ants. The ants had been dusted with a powder to get rid of them. In the process they killed a flicker and a falocn. Gord said the flicker was probably flying wonky , which was fair game for the peregrine. It is sad but this site is at the end of a residential area.

so be careful how you control your weeds and insects and everything else. It eventually ends up in the food chain

Hopefully this post helps

We try and visit this site a few times a year. I met a gentleman there that has been keeping an eye on them for years.

Happy watching

Thanks for clearing that up, bev. I had forgotten about the previous female having trouble hatching out her eggs.

Recently, I've been reading about the whole peregrine falcon history and recovery project, and read that some migratory destinations still have not banned DDT. Can't recall right now if the destinations were Latin America or South America.

The male arrived with food. Female got up, took it away for awhile while the male babysat:



Female back with food as male exits


Feeding




Female took leftovers out and here she is returning


Can't see bands well enough to make a determination, although it sort of looks to me like there is no band on the right leg. Whatever is on her left leg really blends in with her leg.

great catch Susan. I could never see them fully to tell, but i know chat t reported the 3 .

I have been looking for bands. Always hoping one of past kids from Edmonton

Remind me, do they place two bands or one band in Edmonton?

They place 2 bands.

Silver on right and black on left

Although Miss Edmonton is opposite for easy recognition, since she was rehabilitated adn has transmitter off now

Very worried about the effect of the oil spill on these peregrines as waterfowl prey will be contaminated. What a disaster for wildlife.
