Loved it pchemist, as I was reading, the music was going around in my head.
Thanks for the childhood flashback.
Liked the last 2 lines, not in reference to the waddlestompfaceplant imitation I hope. ;D ;D

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. better to end it while interest is still there, rather than letting it just fizzle out
Ya, I guess you have a point there Saoirse - but seeing them there quite a few times yesterday makes it harder to suddenly lose that view.....sigh.... :(

thanks for the report, bccs.  for some reason I have it in my head that Vesper is singing that song from Peter Pan (espcially the last line to our watchers on the ground)

Look at me way up high,
Suddenly here am I
I'm flying.

I'm flying
I can soar
I can weave and what's more
I'm not even trying

High up, and as light as I can be.
I must be a sight lovely to see.

I'm flying.
Nothing will stop me now:
Higher still look at how
I can zoom around,
'Way up off the ground
I'm flying.

I fly and I'm all over the place
You try and you fall flat on your face

Air quality check. Went back to the famous parking lot and spotted Princess and Vesper having a wonderful fly around. So how do I know it was them?
Well now, true to form, Vesper was yelling as she was flying. And they were of the same size, so it had to be Princess.
No sight of Trey and the boys. Maybe I'll see them on my way home.
Thanks B....Glad you're there, no, very happy happy joy joy that you're there!!!

They/it is.  The Edmonton Board is a couple of ones below this one on the main page of the Forum - they are on the U of A campus.

Thanks a million, TPC. That was what I suspected, but didn't want to be making totally weird comments if I was looking at the wrong website . . .

Does TPC think she can get rid of us that easily? 8)

Good luck with that! Can't see it happening, can you?

From the main page of the Forum:
"And to the peregrines fans, thank you for making this a wonderful year to share the lives of Trey, Princess, Ty, Tupper and Vesper with you!
And I hope to see you all again in 2010!"

Does TPC think she can get rid of us that easily? 8)

Are Bev's chicks the website that actually has 3 cams?

Yes folks, the CBC Manitoba/Shaw Falcon Cam is once again offline.  There is no way to predict when/if the birds will return to a specific location so its now time for the cam to go dark.  Now given how many folks we have downtown on a daily basis going about their daily jobs, I daresay that we will have random sightings of the birds on a semi regular basis and I will certainly be passing along any news I have/find.

And keep in mind that we have grand kids of Trey and Princess in Grand Forks and in Edmonton.  The Edmonton birds have a cam and Bev to keep us in the loop and I will keep in touch with the Grand Forks Gang for updates on Terminator and family.

Basically, we are not quite at the point where I have to start up the count-down timer again ...  :D ;)
