It is closing in on midnight.  It poured rain here in the Fort Garry area of Winnipeg about 10:30ish and an hour later they sprayed for cankerworms.  Glad to see the last of those.
There is absolutely no action on the ledge, and I think that even if there were some, I could not see anything.  Just a few cars on the street.

Wind is next to nothing now, the blinds are only moving a little. Most of the water noise I hear now is from cars, not rain.

pmg, certainly hope that the direction is right, don't want east hitting these babies. rain would definitely cool it down a bit. this morning at 9 or 20 it was 26 already. not nice.

I'm in Charleswood and the rain has stopped, no wind either. Temp is apparently down to 25 wooh hoo. I love winter :D

It's more gusting than anything right now, and not too bad at that. I've noticed that when the cam shakes, the chicks are usually protected. The cam sticks out from the bldg, whereas the chicks get some shelter from the edge of the ledge.
Bit more rain, but certainly not a downpour.

Raining and very windy in Fort Garry.  Looks like it is windy downtown, saw the camera shaking.  If we do get a storm I think it will be the first one for the chicks since they have been alone in the nest ledge.  Last rain I think Princess was still sitting on them, unless the rain hit downtown on Friday that hit Fort Garry.
They look peacefull just beside the drain...every so often a little move.  I hope the wind does not become a problem for them.

Lots of dark clouds south of downtown but they seem to be travelling in a north west direction. Still just a few sprinkles.

Raining in my neighborhood now...south west Wpg. Hopefully it will cool things down, and at the same time not be too annoying for the chicks.

I bet the chicks TOTALLY forgot to do anything for him!
Well, I wouldn't say that's entirely true, Pchemist. For Father's Day, the chicks have made their daddy, Trey, a lovely masterpiece of "poop art"! ;)

And they worked on it such a long time too!  It was a real effort  ;D

Pchemist will have to let us know if a midnight snack arrives again tonite.

The chicks are waking up again...more wing flapping going on. Come on mom, or dad, where's that snack???

Looks as though they've given up on any hope of a food delivery -- they're all piled up in the north corner, just a heap of feathers.

Look at the top right...perhaps this landed on the North side of Portage...perhaps a car...perhaps a person...holy crap !!
