Thanks Pam. 
I wonder if the ledge vegetation evokes instinctual memory of cliffside nestsites, where gravel might give way to the odd hardy plant?

On Friday when leaving BP from CityPlace Graham and Donald exit walked out the door and was greeted with the sounds of Kakking. Walked down Donald towards Portage and saw a bird flying over the Radisson rooftop and heard loud kakking noises going on. This kept up for a good three minutes and whoever was making the noises was very very vocal. Certainly not impressed with something. Did not have binocs with me but looked like one may have been perched on the tower. As it was getting on the dark side could not tell if adult or juvie.

Just happen to have a call at Pam's building today on the 17th. flr....Wow,nice viewing but no birds to be seen !
Chatting with the "Man-in-Charge"...appears he has a corner office and even had a pair of B-Nocks on his desk ?? Wonder what he is watching was my thought...birds or ???
LOL, dennis!  ;D I would imagine there are all kinds of people lurking around with binocs on their desks in the "downtown" area! ;) 8)

Being the shy and quite person that I am ?? I simply asked him...so, what are you spying on with your B-nocks ?? He went on and on explaining about the Peregrines nesting on the Radisson and what fun it was to see them so near etc.
As I left...I gave him my card and explained...now have access to the 17th. floor.
Just really need to get the windows cleaned...perhaps Pam will work on this for next year ???

AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET ME KNOW YOU WERE IN THE BUILDING MAKING OTHER CONTACTS?????  NAMES???? :o
Need an assistant to carry the big lens?? ;D

I will take a camera to work tomorrow (couldn't believe I didn't have one there ......getting hard to keep track of them!) and see if I can get a shot of the nestledge with all of it's fauna!  Not to mention, hopefully, a capture or two of Princess.

Good to at last have a reason to go to work....... ;)

Princess was on the nestledge this morning, looking quite regal, and bccs spotted her there again this afternoon around 2.
I'm surprised one could see her in that garden!   ::)
Very happy for the report that she's hanging out on the East Side!!!

Oh, yeah, the garden!  How did it do this summer without Trey doing any weeding?
