Manitoba Peregrines > Radisson Peregrines
Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
Kinderchick:
Just got home after doing some errands and spending a little over 4 hrs. downtown with the "fledgewatch group" - dennis, bccs, des, jazzerkins, susha, susha's daughter and TPC. Arrived downtown around 7:30 AM to find the Mr. White had fledged about 15 mins. prior to my arrival. First spotted jazzerkins on Portage Ave. across from the Radisson, then managed to locate dennis, bccs and des in City Place parkade, watching Mr. White, who had landed on a lower roof, in between some taller buildings. bccs called TPC and along she came, armed with her Home Depot pail. After some thoughtful watching, TPC asked dennis to call a friend with a very long ladder. TPC will speak about this later, but I believe she felt that Mr. White mightn't have been able to maneouver his way up and out of the narrow passage between the buildings. After TPC checked in with the police to be sure that we weren't all arrested for trespassing, the ladder was extended to the rooftop where Mr. White had fledged to and up went dennis, armed with susha's sweater, attempting to corral and capture Mr. White. No such luck! :P Mr. White then fledged down the narrow back alley and landed a little bit higher but still on a lower roof of the MTS building. When I left the group close to noon, TPC assured us that he would likely stay there for some time, but that he looked as if he was just fine... And as a postscript, none of the others had fledged when I left, but 2 were outside the nestbox, on the ledge, where we cannot see them from the webcam, although TPC says that she can see all the way down to the end of the ledge with her spycam. All in all, a very exciting morning! ;D The only disappointment of the day was for susha in that dennis was not able to capture Mr. White in her sweater! ::) She was really looking forward to having some "poop art" of her very own! 8) ;)
Jo:

bev.:
As part of a fledge team, I know how you at the cams feel.
but rest assured that your fledge watch team in Winnipeg and Tracy aare keeping a good watch.
I will not speak for Tracy, but the adults would not withhold food from the girls at this stage. They are not ready.
Glad White is O.K. How far up is he bccs. I do not know your buildings
GCG:
