Cade - July 6 @ 1430h

No news is good news and so far as we have heard, Cade is being smart and keeping out of trouble.

This evening, Cade decided to make his longest flight yet and he took off from the Air Canada Building, took a couple of long circles around the old Free Press Building gaining altitude and then he swept across Portage Avenue to the roof of the Rogers Building which is one block west of the Hotel.  The Rogers Building is higher than the Air Canada Building and just a bit lower than the nestsite on the Hotel, but it sure looks like our boy has figured out what he needs to do to get up onto the higher buildings where his sister and parents are spending all their time.

Carson - July 6 @ 1430h

Carson is eating and being stubborn about trying to fly (typical peregrine) but it appears he has no suffered any lasting injury so we are working on plans for his re-release in the next couple/few days.  In the meantime, the rehab folks are keeping an eye on him for us.

Carson - July 5 @ 1000h

Carson is active, strong & annoyed with the vet staff.
They are going to keep an eye on him for a couple of days but so far he is looking good.

Carson

Carson fledged with Fyfe on Sunday but we hadn't been able to find him until last night (Monday night) when he had a bit of a dust-up with the Hydro building as he was working his way either to a parent on the Hydro sign or on his way back to the nestbox (both are usual behaviours).  Because we don't know how hard he hit, he's being check out by the folks at Wildlife Haven and we should have news soon.  He was hissing at his rescuer last night which is a very good sign!  More news as we have it!

Cade

Cade took the big leap today just before dinner time and managed his first flight quite nicely.  He went west along Portage Avenue to the Air Canada Building and spent some time this evening practicing his flying skills before heading off the old Winnipeg Free Press Building for the night.  He did very well and was safe and sound when the sun set and the fledgewatchers headed off home.

I thought the nest box was on the 30th floor,  but the cameras make it look closer to the ground.    What floor is it on??

It's an optical illusion, mspeach.  The nestbox is just off the roof of the Radisson, whichever floor that is. 

BTW, welcome to the forum - don't know if I've said hello yet, we have a few newbies now, which is awesome! :-*

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your time downtown, "birdwatching", Chickita. :D Sorry I couldn't stay down any longer this morning, had to get home to attend to somme errands. ::) Thanks for your report. :-* What's Bea up to, TPC? I saw a shadow of a bird outside the nestbox view not long ago. Was that her or a parent? Is she in the nestbox chilling near the back of the box? I can't really tell. :-\

So I just returned from downtown to check things out - first time! After talking to Kinderchick and getting some great directions, etc we perched ourselves on the top floor of the CityPlace parking lot. We spotted Princess (I think) on top of the MB Hydro sign and watched Beatrix come out of the box a few times. Also saw Ivy (I think) drop in on Beatrix for a quick visit and then he stayed on the "a" of the Radisson sign. Looked all over the place for Cade, but given the hot temps I am thinking he probably found some shade to hang out in. Princess wasn't looking toward the old Free Press bldg though, she was watching toward the Delta which is the same direction that Ivy came from. I doubt that means anything, but just my little observation for the day... ;) Now I am going to invest in some binocs for tomorrow - the zoom on my camera just doesn't cut it!
