This is on topic TPC as I am the air quality inspection officer
I'm taking a half day holiday, which means no more updates today, sorry guys :'( :'(
Half day for me starts in 5 more minutes - then I'm sooo outta here ;D

And the flying - wow - doing my best to describe it, but in this case, words are inadequate.

Hey Bccs, your best is just great (although I know what you mean about inadequate words)! It's so great to hear that all of the chicks, but Vesper in particular because it's new to her, are having a good morning for flying. Trey and Princess will definitely have their hands full with those three! Keep up the totally essential air quality checks!

I'm off to see who I can find today, since I didn't have much luck yesterday. Certainly hope that they will all at least put in an appearance at some point, preferably all at once so I'm not seeing the same one over and over. This is likely my last chance to see the chicks as I'm busy on the weekend and I'm guessing the fledge watch will be over by next week (sniff). Hanging around downtown is not part of my normal routine.........

Des just called. One of the parents did a fly by with food in its talons, followed by the boys. Our girl joined in briefly, she made it as far as the post office ( 2 blocks east of City Place ).
Newest update, boys on City Place, girl on the post office and the parents flying and circling.

Good to hear everyone is doing well and adjusting to the fledling stage.  It sure was nice to watch them in the nest ledge, but ah, just like all children they do grow and eventually leave!  :'(

I want to say there is a chick in the far north corner on the ledge, but after reading about the shadow/not shadow I just don't know.  Can anyone local see that part?

great story from last night, allikat!  and I love hearing about the flight training going on this morning.  Wish we could see it!
Just part of the ledge I'm afraid pchemist.

Air quality check. I walked out and my timing was awesome. Met up with des and we had a treat. One boy and our girl on City Place roof. Along comes an adult, I think it was Trey, swoops by junior, junior takes flight and we have a good old game of follow the leader going on. Trey put jr. through his paces, circles, up and down, little bit of swooping and they ended up on the Radissonroof. 2 minutes of nature at its finest.
Thanks B for that update.  Glad to know that the boys are trying to keep up with Dad...and that Vesper is squaking up a storm  ::)

Air quality check. Two kids on the ledge at City Place, one flying around, no sign of mum and dad.
Still very breezy and cool.
