falconval:
Hi everyone ,Just felt I had to write ,I got up this morning and was looking forward to seeing our little ones and reading everyone note and when I did I got so upset I think I cryed for 20 min I feel so sad for them and I know it is nature but i still feel very upset .
But if Tracy and the crew are trying to help they must think there is hope as I do not think they would but there self in danger if there was no hope ,so let keep our finger crossed.

RAINFALL WARNING: City of Winnipeg
Issued at 9:45 AM CDT FRIDAY 6 JUNE 2008
AREAS OF 50 MM OF RAIN TODAY.
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN NORTH DAKOTA IS STREAMING A LOT OF MOISTURE INTO SOUTHERN MANITOBA THIS MORNING. AS OF 9:30 AM, REPORTS FROM SOUTH WINNIPEG AND GLENLEA INDICATE OVER 40 MM OF RAINFALL. BEFORE THE FIRST BAND OF RAIN ENDS NEAR 11:00 AM, SOME AREAS AROUND THE RED RIVER VALLEY WILL HAVE RECEIVED 50 MM OF RAIN OR MORE. THIS MAY CAUSE SOME LOCAL FLOODING, ESPECIALLY IN LOW-LYING AREAS. THIS AFTERNOON, SOME MORE RAIN IS POSSIBLE, AS THUNDERSTORMS FORM SOUTH OF THE BORDER AND MOVE NORTH. ENVIRONMENT CANADA IS MONITORING THIS SITUATION VERY CLOSELY AND WILL UPDATE THIS WARNING THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
This is the warning that the City of Winnipeg is under at the moment, direct from Environment Canada. Nature isn't always easy or nice to watch.
I sincerely hope all the best for the chicks and Princess. It is definately heartbreaking to watch. Good luck Tracy.

Cam just zoomed out. The whole ledge is flooded.
Very neat to be able to see what else is going on around the building though.

Deedream, I was wondering the same thing, would they put the rescued chicks in the penthouse nestbox. Time will tell. At times it seems like the rain is letting up and then it seems like the wind just drives the rain in even harder. Princess sure it one dedicated mother. And the team is matching her dedication by even considering a rescue. I too am wondering about the method of trying to rescue them. It would indeed take time to get into action. They just zoomed out, I am guessing they are going to show the rescue attempt.
Falconista:
Another thought just occurred to me... but not only are these birds cold and wet, they have yet to be fed! How miserable must they be right now?
I know it's probably not likely but I really hope they consider moving the chicks up to the nest box so they will be out of the elements. I don't think falcons were meant to swim...
