Msdolittle there is nothing wrong with your pictures.  You just don't have "Wowser".  Nice to see the lay of the land.  Sure puts it all in perspective!  Thanks.

Awww, Cade looks so tiny on that great big building!  And he flew from there all the way to the top of the Rogers building?  You go boy!!!  3 cheers for Cade!   ;D  Thanks for sharing.  :)

just to show how you can see the aircanada building and the Radisson at the same time.  Also when you are looking directly at the Air Canada Building if you turned your head to the left the Hydro Building is right beside you.

the first picture showed a very small image of Cade.  My camera is a child's toy compared to Dennis'

So good to see Cade!  Thanks for the peek TPC.  ;)

Sitting here, watching TV yet keeping and eye on the cam (multi-tasking!), a thought came over me... That nest box looks just like my teenage daughter's bedroom!  A TOTAL mess!  So really, it's just as it should be for Queen Bea.   ;D ;D

Oh how I remember that!  And I guess it is a pretty good comparison. LOL

Bea looks so lonely in the far away corner.  I did not even see her at first and then she moved.  Sleep well sweet girl.

Just got back from a very exciting evening of fledgewatching with Jazzerkins and des. :) We were able to watch Cade on the Air Canada Bldg. from the top of the parkade that I now refer to as "Fyfe's Parkade". After about an hour, we had a little chuckle as Cade began to spread his wings and walk to the edge of the AC roof, almost as if he were attempting to balance on a tight rope. 8) Moments later he spread his wings again and we tracked him with our binocs as he flew across the street to the Roger's Bldg. After Jazz spoke with TPC on the phone, we then decided to go down to the street level and crossed over, where we had an excellent view of him on the front of the Roger's Bldg. And of course, we knew that he was chowing down on a delicious meal that had been prepared by Ivy when some tail feathers came flying through the air and landed right at our feet, just as we were passing in front of the Roger's Bldg. :o A minute sooner and the tail feathers might have landed on one of our heads! ;) LOL! When we left, it looked as if Cade was slowly working his way to the other side of the Roger's Bldg., where he could clearly see his sister, Beatrix. So maybe he'll eventually find his way back to the nestbox. :-\ 8)

Cade has moved to the east side of the Rogers Building so he is now facing the Hotel and if I have distance right, he may in fact be right across from the nestbox.  The Rogers Building is lower than the Hotel, but the kids are getting closer all the time  :D

Have to return to the computer and see what all has happened in the last few hours.   So glad to have the cams and all the chatting in the forum to keep track of the birds.   

Oh and Susha, I live in Phoenix, AZ.    Lived in WPG part time for 10 years or so, and moved away in 2004.   Loved  Winnipeg and the Winnipegers!!!

Skycam is locked on Cade right now, he's parked on the northwest corner of the Rogers Building - he's dark and the background is dark so he's a bit hard to see but that's him.  Jazzerkins, Kinderchick and Des tracked him from the AC Building across the street and right up on the roof.  With the cam I was able to confirm that one of the adults was on the "s" in the north facing Rogers sign having a meal so it may well have been the chance for food that finally spurred Cade to try again at a big flight - and he did it perfectly.  The fledgewatchers report the Princess is on the tower at the Hotel, so it must have been Ivy have a late supper.

Will put the cam back on nestbox now ...

That is great TPC.  He is sitting there like he had been doing this for a long time.  Hope he goes home to the nest for the night.
