read the web version, and as short and to the point it is, it still made me well up with unshed tears all over again...  :'(

And if they've been attacking the bars what does that tell you Tracy?

Trey has been sitting on the D and has not moved.He is facing south.It is him or is it her,Princess?? To bad it was not yesterday and Trey could of let us know who it is? I still excited to see them aster all these years of watching them.

Check the size - he's smaller than her.  Also, check how dark the head looks - his will be much darker than hers. 

Now if you can see him Mother Hen, he's on the west side, looks like I'm going to have to check the nestbox and see if they have been attacking the chick-proof bars or if they have just been investigating the mess the chicks made when they were there.

Would you all mind if I moved/renamed this topic to the July 9th entry - might make it easier for folks to find it and maybe encourage a few extra to come join us after work sometime ...

Let me know what you think ...

Watching the news or checking out the story on the CTV Website wasn't a requirement  :)  just letting y'all know in case you were interested.  I missed the newscast, had an appointment so I'm glad someone saw it!    I figured it would be short since it was over the phone, but it does sound like they covered most of the information I provided them with, which is great since I think they really only wanted to know if Trey & Princess were renesting ... Thanks CTV!!!

As for whether the chicks were alive when they were rescued, there may have been one that was alive when Kyle picked her/him up, but it was hard to say.  The reason they died is because of the cold - they got too wet to keep warm, so when they got to us, they were pretty cool, one perhaps a little less cool than the others but we did try to revive them all, as you know already.    That little tidbit they got from Kyle and he is the one who saw the first, so I feel no need, well actually, don't want to contradict him, he may be right and the chicks did die on the way down ...

 One of my neices works there part time(at the Peregrine Room) as a waitress as she is a student at the U of W. Her school posting as not sure what they call it is right next door in the attached building.She was taken up to the roof a couple of years ago to see things but no Peregrines at that point in time.Maybe Tracy or some one who works a the Radisson can take us up next time. Was it a pelican flock we saw??? I dont want to sound crazy!

Well today Jun 10/08 I have been lucky enough to see Princess this morning for quite some time and now Trey is sitting on the D facing south. Where were they yesterday when I was standing there looking up??  I think is is pretty funny when you lookup other people will look up as weel not knowing what they are looking up at.

Hi deedream.  If you go to the Radisson Peregrines board, or any other subject board, you will see above the listed subject threads the option for "new subject".  Have fun!

 :(  Geez, I'm really feeling left out not being in Winterpeg.  :)  I'd love to come meet all you Phanatics and have a chance to get a glimpse of P&T.

You have Pelicans in Manitoba? I'm envious now, I need to get out there some day!
We have pelicans where I live too - and blue herons and egrets.  I love floating down the Yakima river - never know what I'll see aorund the bend!  Haven't done that this year as the river was high and fast, but hopefully later this summer it will be safe and we will have time.
