Answers to your two questions are Thank you :-[ and Yes. More on question two this weekend. Got plans, should have all the infrastructure in place to support it!

The Diner is the name we have given to the building where the birds like to eat ... and no, there is no restaurant in it or any of the buildings surrounding it :)
The Bed & Breakfast is where we would like the birds to nest (they haven't so far).
The Bleachers is where the birds like to watch the world from ... and launch attacks at unsuspecting pigeons et al, a bit like the Roman Colliseum!!

Thank you for the clarification on the 'code words' . . . . . if the safety/ privacy of the birdies is at stake - best to keep the location top secret.

To be honest, TPC, I confess to being very ill-informed about webcams in general and their costs in particular. Until your comment (and, of course, Bccs's on another thread), I didn't realize that the costs were prohibitive. So, given that information, I'll take back my question. A camera for security would be great -- and, of course, you could post the interesting photos! Forgive me for getting carried away with the enthusiasm of watching "our" birds and not thinking about the real life (i.e. $$$) difficulties. And thanks for bringing me down to earth so gently!

Yes, I was watching a video on the CBC-B.C. website regarding this. Webcams are ENORMOUSLY expensive to set up and maintain, etc. :o We are very fortunate to have CBC Manitoba and Shaw supporting this endeavour! :-*

Well, just as soon as the webcam is up and running on the Radisson and the Kinderchicklets have had a chance to view the peregrines and ask TPC a few questions, I have plans to put out a fundraising "challenge" again! ;)
