RCF:
2013 NESTING SEASON
This is from the Sportsman's Paradise Online web site
There will be No cam this year
UPDATE:
Windsong and Nessa have 4 eggs as of May 6 , 2013. Best guess is first was laid approx April 28, 2013. Telus crew has completed new bridge install and need to get the cams reconfigured so this could take a few more days if all goes well. So we estimate hatch wach to start end of May start of June 2013.

I mentioned the nest to Gord and he said it is a lot of Franklin gulls in there and the ravens will clean it out in off season. He has been keeping an eye out.

These three have all fledged successfully. The two boys are soaring around the tower and the girl is slowly getting her wings and making her way back up the tower. The mod of the site goes to the tower every day and keeps an eye on things. She thinks the girl will take to her wings today.
I don't think that there is an official there that has sexed the chicks so the folks on the chat have deemed them two boys and a girl and given them names also. I do believe they are calling them Brad, Scott, and Summer. I don't know the significance of the names other than Summer. Summerfly is the name of the moderator on the chat site.
BirdLover:
The two older chicks have lost almost all their down and are exploring out on the walkway of the tower. The other chick still has a lot of down and is not quite as adventurous as the other two.
