Last year Peer posted when I phoned him but he has been in meetings.
so nest week I will phone him and he will post updates


It poured rain here till 12:30pm  Certainly not good for fledging.

Red band is dong very well. He is flapping and doing a few jump flies. but at 6pm tonihgt, he did a low fly from one end of ledge to other. then mom came in and  beak fed him and left some for him to eat himself. If he does not go tonight ,he will go tomorrow. He is looking so good and so handsome.

I will post pictures as soon as possible but by time Peter gets home he is too tired to download camera.

Yellow band was adoring a lot of flapping on black mesh today and she did a few hop flies on mesh.

Blue band is doing her share of flapping also.

As I am typing blue band went up on roof of nest box, and yellow is on mesh.

I just  talked to Peter and red is doing a lot of flying on ledge and is on back of ledge now .

I have to go for a bit and then  I will post some  some cam picutres

Ellie:
Thank you so much for all the information.  I know you all are very busy but you know how it is when you're waiting and anxious to get news about the fledging.  Thanks again........so far all is good ;D

bcbird:
Thanks for the updates on the fledgewatch, gang. 
Good luck, and hoping for good weather.

I  have 2 reliable people there right now. Lisa and Rosemarie.

Peter phoned her this morning early , and red band was catwalking along the ledge and Yellow band had gone out on mesh (as parents dropped food to her there)

Blue band was feeding in side.

looking now Yellow band has gone back on mesh and blue band is outside.
It has been raining hard this morning and I have not had a call so red band will still be on ledge.

I did see blue band flapping a lot on wrung this morning.

Red band was behind in his development, and maybe adults did so on purpose. who knows. He is strong now and the ledge is great for him to flap. If I had to rescue him , that is where I would have had to put him.

It is day 42 for the oldest juvenile.(I believe to be yellow band) So red band is at least 41 days old.

Our males have typically fledged much earlier than this but having 2 females as well, might make a difference.

the males in Winnipeg fledged day 41 and 42 this year so he is ready.

and the weather has not cooperated either.

I am going down shortly and if anything happens I will phone Peter.

We will have a few pcitures later
