Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
msdolittle:
Des and I just saw Cade fly from the Rogers building over to the radisson and tried to land beside a parent on the radisson. He couldn't quite get the landing down so turned around and flew back to the Rogers building roof. He left there headed toward aircanada building then turned and went behind the hydro building. Just now Cafe and a parent both flew home for a reunion with Bea!
GCG:
A very vocal Beatrix and lots of wingersizing. I thought she was ready to fledge. She has since settled down.

--- Quote from: Leana ---I guess the one thing that struck me the most was how clearly you can hear the chicks yelling, even from the ground. After Ivy delivered dinner the second time Bea and Cade were yelling to each other. If they are that loud on the ground, over the noise of traffic,

I didn't want to quote all of our newbie fledge watcher Leana, but I quite agree with you about the loudness of the birds. Have stood on Graham and Donald and heard them from Portage Avenue. Was downtown from just after 3 to 4pm and I must tell you our little missy gave me quite a scare. At 3:50 as others have mentioned she decided to put on quite a show of wingercising which totally scared the poop out of me, she kept it up for 5 minutes or more and I was sitting there watching her. My thoughts were what will I do if she flys, I don't have a phone, there is nobody else around. PANIC. Thank the heavens, she stopped after a few minutes and I could start breathing. again.

Another long but wonderful day of fledgewatching with great company! :D Left home this morning at 7:00 to fledgewatch for a few hours downtown with des. It was great to be able to report updates from the street to Jazzerkins at work, who then was able to post for us. 8) Cade was still on the Rogers Bldg. when we got downtown and Bea in her nestbox. Observed parents flying overhead, making food drops and keeping a watchful eye from some of their favourite perches... Again, this evening, met several fledgewatchers down on the street, Jazzerkins, des, Saoirse, Pam, msdolittle and of course, the incomparable newbie fledgewatcher, Leana, who deserves to be inducted into the "Fledgewatchers Hall of Fame", if ever there is one. She now has the official fledgewatcher sore neck. ;) As for the birds this evening, we observed Cade still on the Rogers Bldg. and Bea still in the nestbox, with food drops made by the parents for both of them. A wee bit of wingersizing by Bea, but not enough to think she was ready to take off yet. A little bit of calling out to each other, as well. What really amazes me is that with all of the heavy duty traffic noise on Portage Ave., it is still possible to hear the voices of the birds, above all of the street noise, many, many stories up, on the highest of buildings. :o

Oh, BCBird, I understand your mistake. Every time I go to this site, I think of Trey, and I miss him very much. He is always in the back of my mind.
