We had only one sighting of one bird on the east side today.  Cathy (coworker) saw one bird on the Radisson sign early in the morning (too early for me, I'm afraid....).  Checked many times during the day, but nothing further.......

Can't you hide in the office all weekend and keep us filled in? Just kidding. Thanks for all your observations. It's so exciting!

The both of them are there right now and that is why you can't see them on the East side. Both of them are flying from letter to letter. Right now R is being occupied and so is the N. Al afternoon everytime I look they are on a different letter......They can hide but I always find them. I have to go home and I dont want too........Darn.Talk to you on monday.

So you've identified positively that it is Trey?

Nope, that's why the "rabbit ears"   ;D
But the/he is sitting in Trey's favourite spot ...

12:37 - "Trey" is back on the Paris Building and doing some major preening - good sign that something edible met a sudden demise ...

12:00 - "Trey" has gone from the Paris Building, hopefully gone to slaughter something for himself and/or his lady love.

Okay, its 11:30pm and it looks like His Highness is parked on the ornamental cornice on the Paris Building - he sits on the cherubic figure's head  (and poops on his feet  ;) )

He is very visible if you are on Portage or if you work at Portage and Main.  Look directly west from P&M - building is on the NW corner of Portage and Garry.  Cornice is top of the building right on the corner.  He usually faces east, so look for a black head and white breast.

Check out the Photo Gallery for more images ...

Just to confirm, we did have a bird sitting on the J of the JR sign on the 26th, sitting right beside a pile of snow in fact.  I have a grainy photo that I will post shortly.

Haven't seen anyone on the east side yet, thought I might since its sunny and warm and the kids do like sit in the sun in the morning. Hopefully they will turn up today - no wind so the spycam is stable and most of the ice has fallen/thawed off now.  If they would cooperate, I could actually get band numbers!!!!

We (Dennis, Larry & I) will be on the roof this weekend doing some work on the cams, boxes, etc, etc.  Well, Larry and I will be working (Larry will be snorting and rolling his eyes, I'm more there as entertainment  ;D than assistance) Dennis will have his new humongous lens and speedy camera, so there is every possibility that we could get some really great photos that could help us with our identification. 

I will be posting what photos I have collected from the last couple of days sometime today.  Included will be my collection of "cam art", that is, what the spy cam sees when the environmental casing is coated in ice - kinda cool actually.

Going back to check the spycam now ...

I can confirm that as well...
This morning at approx 7:45am, I saw a falcon below the Radisson sign perched on the green underline facing West.... :)
Would love to know who these falcons are.  Please be Princess & Trey!!!

I was worried about those little creatures.They must be more hearty then we think. he is facing north again. Tracy came to my office the other day to see my birds eye view. But they were not there. If Tracy were here right this minute she could see for herself and let us know just who the falcon is. I hope to see the other today.If I do I will let you know.

Well, for a short period of time 3:30/4-ish, I could see someone sitting on the J again at the Richardson Building. 

Makes me think (move this where you want, TPC)... of the four buildings at Portage & Main (that's Pour-tedge folks, not por-Tahj.  lol)  Isn't it great when you can say 'the Richardson Buidling', and it still is.  Not like the TD Bldg, now Canwest.  Or the Trizec bldg, which never really was named that -- it was the Commodities Exchange Tower (CET).  Trizec was the company that built it.  Then it got sold to Oxford, that kept the name (CET).  Now it's owned by Crown, which has renamed it '360 Main'.  (Okay, so y'all know what buildling I work in!)  And then there's the Bank of Montreal bldg on the SE corner.  What a gorgeous bldg!  That one will never get pulled down I'm sure; unless we find ourselves in a Bladerunner world!  yuck 

oh my god liz ..... that's too funny ... but very true..... can they just leave the names alone?  For your information ... i work in the "old winnipeg free press building" .. owned by Can West Global now.
