I've seen a couple of flights this morning - does look like fun!
Right now there's a juvie on top of the machinery on the Rogers, no clue which one, though!

Again, thank you, Lifo, for the map.  I'm plotting these reports out, and enjoying the play by play.

Pam, you do have a great vantage point -- how perfect to sit at your desk and watch a juvie learning how wonderful it is to fly!  8)

Just saw a great juvie flight - might have been Bea (not sure about that).  Looked like a take-off from AC, flew around a couple of circles and landed on the Rogers behind the machinery (can't see the bird now). 
Dad's on the MB Hydro sign, don't see Princess or another juvie anywhere at the moment.

Any news on Carson this morning?

I see the weather is supposed to moderate for the next few days and then get wicked by the weekend.

I know that "when you can find them" is the key phrase here. That was one important thing I've learned through fledgewatching over the past several years. Before that, I really had no idea how quickly those birds can disappear from sight and how easy it is for them to be invisible on rooftops. Really, once they fledge, it just feels like good luck when you do catch sight of them! Worth waiting for, though.

Terrific news, MsD and TPC! I do know that "no news is good news" but it's also hard on the ol' blood pressure. . . good to know where she is for now.  ;D

No news is good news when you can't find them Saoirse - when you can find them and they are doing what fledglings are suppose to be doing, all news is good news :)

Who ever is on the air canadA building is having a snack. I can't see the front of it. There is the odd feather flying

AC bird is running across the roof from breakfast to an inside edge, by the running style, I would suspect that it is Beatrix ... perched looking west now
