1954h
Jazzerkins just called in to let us know that Cade just flew to the Rogers Building (that's halfway between the Hotel and Hydro) and alot higher than the Air Canada Building and he could very well make it back to the nestsite before the sun sets if he is so inclined.  The winds are favourable and there still is plenty of light.  And his sister is waiting for him ...

Going to hijack the skycam ...

A little look at tonight's fledgewatchers hard at work babysitting Cade at the Air Canada Building and Beatrix at the nestbox.

No adult on the Manitoba Hydro sign, so its probable that at least one is on the communication tower at the Radisson.

What direction is Beatrix facing now as she sits on the edge?  South?

Yes Ellie, she is facing south right now.

The Hydro building is directly west, and 3 blocks down Portage from the Hotel.
And Cade on the AC Building is west/north-west of her and 2.0 blocks west down Portage Avenue.
(for those trying to draw a mental map in their heads)

Okay.....where did she go?

Whew -- there she is! Guess she'd just gone to enjoy a bit of shade for a while. . . . giving us all heart attacks was just a bonus, I'm sure!

Every time she disappears like that my heart drops!  I never see her disappear so I never know where she's gone!

That is SO cool!  The wonders of modern technology!  ;) ;D

I agree wholeheartedly -- nothing like getting a real up-to-the-minute report from the street! We'll have to start calling you CNN, MsDolittle!  :-*

Is that camera view right now, the top of the Air Canada Bldg.? And is that Cade at the bottom of the screen, on the edge of the building?

I believe that was him on the upper level, not the lower one.  MsD gave me directions and with the skycam, that appears to be the only object in the area that looked big enough.
