My daily noon hour trip to cityPlace - July 15
Walking down Graham east to CP, at first I thought I was going to be disappointed. No one in the sky, no one on the corner trim. Then I heard the familiar cacking - and a racket it was too! Looked up and around, but couldn't see anyone. No one in the sky. No one on the Hydro logo (where I thought the sound was coming from). No one on the "a". And then I spy movement on the "n". Yes! Bobbing of heads and general jostling and cack-cack-cack. I think there may have been two birds. Young'uns for sure. But by the time I fished my "linderlou" specials (my $10 purse size binocs) from out of my purse and found them again, there look to be just one. But so pretty! The light playing on her (where ever it was coming from) made her "white" feathers shine like gold. That was about noon. She was still there when I left CP at about 12:30.

I haven't seen all 4 birds, but last week we saw 5 together, that was the day that the "biter" was in jail. ;D
We should be seeing more of the parents getting involved very soon as they will start teaching the chicks how to get food from a mid-air drop and then how to hunt.

Two of the kids having a great game of tag over the MTS Centre. swooping, diving, lazy circles, wow oh wow.
I watched them until they disappeared to the west side of Cityplace.
Nice way to start the day. ;D

Bahahahaha, Sami, well since you asked....... dumb fool thing was flying right in the air space where the kids get their training. You'd think it would know better, having a great ride on the thermals there. ::) ::)
