There's nothing quite like being out there, actually seeing and hearing the birds for yourself, is there? I can hardly wait to get downtown myself -- mind you, by then, they'll probably all be napping rather than the performance you saw!

It's beyond words, Saoirse! it is so addictive, watching these guys. And an interesting benefit, is that I'm getting to know downtown Winnipeg, as I've never done before - had no reason to! Now, I can't imagine driving or walking downtown, without looking at the tops of the buildings and without searching the skies...can be a tad dangerous doing it while driving though... :o

Great update susha, thanks for the info ;D
She really likes to tuck herself up against the box in the right side as you are looking at it pchemist. Or if she's right under the camera, you'll never spot her till she moves.
Talked to Tracy today about Aura, and she says that it will be a few more days till she's even close to being ready. She's not been strengthening her wings near enough to even think about fledging.

--- Quote from: MayShowers on July 06, 2010, 12:34 ---I am not overly familiar with downtown Winnipeg, so I was just wondering how close the new Manitoba Hydro building is to the Radisson and if there are worries about the possibility of the falcons flying into it because of all the glass on that building?

I was going to suggest checking out downtown Winnipeg on mapquest.com or google.ca but mapquest's image is from before the Hydro building was built and the google image shows the construction of the hydro building but that makes it more confusing to my eye. I do have some panaramas taken with the SkyCam over the last week, I will save them and post them in the video gallery tomorrow MayShowers - that way you can see the world pretty much the same way the chicks see it from their nest.

Thanks Tracy, I did some looking on google maps and have a rough idea.
