Much as I hate to see the end of it, I think it probably would be best if the cam focusing on the nest ledge was ended. Interest in the falcons has been so wonderfully high -- and CBC's coverage has been great -- and it might be better to end it while interest is still there, rather than letting it just fizzle out (along the theory that it's better not to go out with a whimper . . .). Having said that, I will definitely miss the possibility of seeing one of the falcons perched there.

every year I go through this withdraw. and every year it doesn't get easier :'( I will look forward to any updates on the birds. Where do they go now while they are still so young? Don't they hang around downtown for awhile?
BIG THANK YOU to Tracy,DENNIS, CBC, SHAW, and our forum and the ever important ground crew. Thank you Thank You

This is my last post for the next while.  We are heading out on a camping trip and the main idea is to get back to nature and leave all electronic toys at home ..(the exceptions being a radio and a cell phone..used sparingly).  I am looking forward to spotting bald eagles, fox, deer etc :) 8)...not looking forward to bear, raccoon or skunk :P

Let me end by thanking all of you for making the past month so enjoyable...yup I joined the forum on June 12th.  Your dedication to our falcons is unbelievably amazing.....your postings and photos ....incredible.  All of you ... too many to name....have done such a great job  You have become friends and I will miss our daily encounters. :'(

I hoped to catch a final sighting of our chicks today but it was not to be.  I am just so thankful that they are progressing so well.  

Have a wonderful summer...keep an eye on our chicks, mum and dad.  I'm sure they'll still be around on my return.   :'( :-* :-*

About 7:30 two landed on the roof of Citi Place.  I didn't get a good look at them though.

Don't quote me but Terry on the CBC morning radio show said the falcon cam was ending today. I was hoping they would leave it on the dome and/or somewhere on wpg.
OH no!!! :(  :'(

On my walk to work today, I saw a parent on the Radisson sign. I didn't spot the kids.
I'll be going out periodically for air quality checks.

So, the cam is finally up again for me - and of course it's all dark.  Not even a silhouette to admire.

looking forward to some updates tomorrow even if fledge watch is officially over, and hopefully some actually glimpses on the cam.

have a great one, everybody!

Wonderful reports, Ellie, Linderlou and Bunny! 
It's quite reassuring to find out where our family flies when they've left the ledge.
Thank you for expressing your excitement and awe in your descriptions.

Thanks to everyone for the reports on the family........much appreciated.  :)  Look forward to any news from bccs, allikat, and anyone else that sees our bird family activities this week. Then it's away for holidays for a couple of weeks. I'll be in Wpg for last week of July and will probably take a look in the area but I'm sure it will be too late to see T, P, & fam.  :'(  :'(

It was wonderful tonight to go down to see the falcons in action.  When I got there tonight at around 7:30pm there was one on the ledge which was so nice to see.  Then the little one on the ledge was joined by a parent, not sure which one and had some prey.  Then the defeathering began on the prey and feathers were flying all over the place.  Which was really neat to see in person.  I got to see all 5 of the falcons fly which was great even one did a fly by over head. So all is great with our little family.  Nice to see other falcon watchers out tonight too.  I left at about 9pm and all was good!
That's Great Bunnie!!!! Very happy that you were able to watch some flying around and the best....defeathering!
Thanks for the report that all is well with our falcon family!   :D
