Rose & RCF & birdlover, today when I told the Kinderchicklets that one of Princess's chicks from a few years ago (Hurricane) is all grown up now and has moved to Brandon to live with Brooklyn and have their own chicks, you should have seen how excited they were to hear that! LOL! ;D Several of the 'chicklets have been to Brandon to visit grandparents and now they are going to look up in the sky for Hurricane & Brooklyn, the next time they travel to Brandon! ;)

Cold ,windy and rainy here this am,Brooklyn on edge of north east corner roof and Hurricane in nest box,quiet day after weekend winds. Question for TPC, the eggs should start hatching about June 4th or so? We won't be able to see them until they are big enough to stretch their heads above the nest edge but we should be able to see the parents in the box feeding them. :)

Rose & RCF,
Thank you for all your updates & the explanation about the location of the nest box - I'd forgotten about the banding photos from last year.

Glad to hear all is well in Brandon.

Made a quick stop at parkade today, not much going on.  Brooklyn was sitting on the west light of clock tower and Hurricane was in the nestbox.

Hey, it works. Nice poop-art by the way.
There's poop art on the roof, on the tower roof, on the Scotia sign and only TPC,Dan and Dennis know what marvellous art is on the roof below the nest box ;D ;D

Thank you for the photo & all the updates. That was not at all what I pictured their nest to be.

Is it on the side of the McKenzie Seed building?

How high up is it - and how high is the building?
for a good picture of the building and where the nest box is located go to the photo gallery and brandon banding 2009. :)

Re: the nest box. Mck. bld. consists of a lower building (six stories) with a roof and a parapet and right behind and attached another taller building about another six stories, the nest box is about 30 feet up above the lower building. They use a 30 foot ladder on banding day to reach the nest box. This makes this nest box a pretty safe place for fledging because of the roof below. Please note these are only approximates but are pretty close.

The nestbox is on the east side of the building and its about seven stories up. The Mckenzie building is about thirteen stories high including the clock tower.

Boy our nest box looks like vintage Ma & Pa Kettle but I guess we mustn't complain cause a lot of falcon chicks have fledged from this box including Brooklyn. ::) ::)
