Defending the Territory at Peregrine Central

Defending the Territory at Peregrine Central

Even though these first days of March have not been balmy, Peregrine falcons are on the move.  I have a report of Rebecca and Kewpee successfully defending their territory from another falcon, probably a male.  The skirmish was quick, and all seemed fine a short time later.  I saw Kewpee fly in with dinner for Rebecca after the intruding third falcon left.  I also had an eye-witness report of mating.  For the last two years, the first egg was laid on March 19.  With the cold temperatures we are experiencing this week, I certainly hope that egg laying will not occur just yet.  Kewpee continues to demonstrate that he is a good provider.  You can see a food  exchange between him and Rebecca in the video clip from 03-06-2018.  Stay tuned.
