You've had some great air quality checks today, B -- maybe this time the kids are off flying about in between rain showers! Hearing your reports makes it (a bit) easier not to be there myself . . . but only a bit . . .  :'(

Last air quality check by me today. None in the sky, but an adult still on the o on the east.

Air quality check, another yahoo. One adult on the east side O. Looked around a bit more and two of the kids came from the south west side and did a circle. Then they spotted me, came over and had a flyby over my head, circled the Kensington Building. Vesper, I know you all can figure out why I know it was her ::), landed on a window sill on the north side of the hotel, the boy, think it was Tupper again, came back and landed on a south window. Still windy as can be, cloudy and rain is still in the forcast. The clouds sure are moving quickly. Two good spots in one day. Lucky me.!! ;D

Luck, and more than a bit of persistence, B! Great to hear that Tupper is having a good time out there in the sky.

Air quality check. Yahoo, one on the O and one catching thermals over the river to the east. Watched for about 5 minutes, man oh man I miss seeing this on a regular basis. Lazy circles, little flapping. I'm thinking it was Tupper cause he had a bit of trouble catching the thermal. But once he found it - wow. Another reason I thinks it was him is that he came and checked me out. Couple of circles over my head and off he went, south and east. They're hard to spot flying today because it's cloudy and grey. Guess luck was on my side. :)

Air quality check, just finished raining here so took a quick peek from the roof. Saw one on the Post Office bldg, having a preen. No one else though.

Dragonflies are nice.  But, they don't make the noise that our kids do.

Wednesday July 29/09. Only thing I saw flying this morning was a dragonfly. ::)
Though I heard Vesper, but couldn't find her.

Did one last check on my way home from work. Again nothing but it was raining at the time and couldn't get a good look.
