Never seen a heron in the city, but I sure love watching them at the lake!

I was downtown last night on Carlton Ave. between Graham and St Mary's facing south. I was looking for the falcons, but didn't see any, but the weather wasn't cooperating either. I did, however, see something I have never seen in downtown Winnipeg before. It looked like a blue heron came flying over the Delta Hotel, flew to above the Hydro building, circled 4 or 5 times, and then flew off to the west. Came from the Red River and then flew west following the Assiniboine River?
You never know what you see in Winnipeg skies when you look up!!!

That must have been so cool. My husband saw on in Gimli last Saturday. He said it was an impressive sight.
The Peregrine Chick:
Had a peak at the nestbox cam and it looks as though Mother Nature has been cleaning out the nestbox nicely - with some more dry weather, it will probably dry up the last few prey remains and then they'll blow out of the box. Too bad Ivy hasn't found is housekeeping genes yet ...

Lucky you! Don't tell TPC (or the other members here) but the Great Blue Heron has been my favourite bird since I was a little girl growing up on Lake of the Woods. There is something prehistoric, almost sacred, about it.
Anyone know any falcon poems?

But now I have to pee.
