Hi, I just had to post about the lane in the picture. That lane is actually about 1/2 block north of Portage Ave, and runs behind the Credit Union Central bldg. The workers in the ally have nothing to worry about. Its because of the angle and the nest being so high, that it looks so close. It really shows up well in Google Earth and Google Maps.
Fascinated to see Cade back in the box.
Thanks to all the volunteers for their post, keeping us updated.

Yes, Saoirse, it is very rewarding and the people we meet are always very interesting as well as being interested in the birds. This morning we chatted with a Downtown Biz police patrol officer who was from Yellow Knife or White Horse (des would remember). Then we chatted to a gentleman from Toronto who said he is also a "birder" and he talked about the PF nestboxes in the Toronto area. After des left, 2 different women stopped to chat with me about the birds and were very interested and were going to check out the CBC webcam when they got to work or returned home. One woman even remarked, "Your group certainly is doing a good thing." 8)

On the ledge you barely see the top of his head.
Ok he's back now.

I agree completely, Kinderchick. And awareness is what it's all about, isn't it? Most people are surprised at the idea of these wild birds nesting right in downtown Winnipeg, high on a building. Sometimes it's surprising to see the people who are interested! But I find the falcon PR one of the most rewarding parts of fledgewatching!
