Epilogue

The banded female at this nest is actually a bird that biologists moved from the city a few years ago (along with her sister) and hacked at the Pembina site. She has returned to this nest and her sister is now on territory at the South Campus Hospital in Calgary. This female began a clutch but got into a serious fight with another female peregrine. Although she retained the site, the incident was enough to end the breeding attempt for the year. You may catch this female or the unbanded tiercel visiting this nest once in a while if you are continuing to watch this feed.

The egg at the Nutrien site was not viable despite the tiercel's solo ongoing attempt to incubate the egg. Even though we did not have a chick hatch this year, this nest has proved to be popular over the past, so tune in next year. We appreciate you watching with us and hope you join us for another interesting season in 2021!

There is still one egg in the nest. The tiercel continues to spend time working to incubate the egg, but nature is unpredictable and this egg is unlikely to hatch. You will also see an egg that failed to hatch in the corner of the nestbox at Genesee.

It appears that this tiercel may be the only one continuing to incubate the egg.

The falcon at this nest is only two-years-old and inexperienced. She did initiate a clutch but got into a very violent fight on the perch in front of the box. We’re not sure who she fought. That fight appears to have stopped her breeding attempt. This tiercel has taken to incubating the egg.

Egg mystery – we saw an egg in the nest on the morning of May 1, then that afternoon we lost sight of it. Today we see one egg. So, is this egg number one or egg number two? We’re not sure. Stay tuned.

April 30, 2020

We have our first egg in the nest! It appeared sometime between April 29 and the morning of April 30. We are not sure who produced the egg. We will let you know once we confirm the identity of the peregrine pair that claimed this nest.

It’s pretty quiet at this site. We are still waiting for a falcon family to fill the vacancy at this nest.
