They look so cute in buckets....
I walked around outside (was on the top of a parkade until I was escorted off.....), there is still an adult on the top of the tower now, was there throughout the banding pretty much...


Escorted off!!  Who would do that?
security for the parkade!

Don't they know Peregrine Phanatics are exempt?

One chick in the top corner, has been sitting pretty, a bit like a buddha, comtemplating the universe. It might be our lady. 8)

Oh, oh, one very skillfully backed up to the edge, lifted its tail and sent a poop shot over the barrier. :-[

Is it a sidewalk way below, visible on the webcam?  
Thought I saw a person and dog go by. 
Watch out for those poop shots!

It gives me chills to see how high up they are, I'm not good with heights. I know this is great for peregrines but I keep wanting to push them away from the edge ;)

Would it likely be the female hanging back from the outside edge?

 I could see red, yellow and white tape I think, but don't know who has what colored tape on which chick.  What's the other color of tape?

Great new view.

Two chicks collapsed and one sitting up to look around. Can't see the 4th one -must be 'inside'.

1738 hrs

Another meal for the Radisson gang - only two seem at all interested.  Chick 3 is parked in front of the outside box cam and Chick 4 is beside the inside box cam ...

1739 hrs

Now everyone is tucking in at the far end of the box ...

CBC is working on converting the banding video for
a) tonight's evening news shows (1700/1730/1800 CDT - Channel 2) and
b) for me so I can post it on YouTube - but that will take until tomorrow as the conversion has to run overnight, then I'll pick it up and barring any problems, will load up to YouTube right away and y'all will get to watch it all the way through.  We'll also be providing video to the folks at Shaw for use in a piece they are doing for Channel 9.

Forgot to ask Eye-Spy if there will be audio on the video ...  perhaps he'll be on later and he can tell us all then.

One big event down, finding out we have three boys & one girl. :D  Next event, TPC's naming of the chicks :D  Then fledge watch.  :o It seems like just yesterday they were little hatchlings and soon, they will be leaving the nest.  How fast time flies by ::)

Can't believe I guessed right. Yesterday, they were all standing in a row, pretty close together, their backs to the camera and I examined the length of their feathers and thought, looks like 3 males and a female to me.

What a "chatty"  bunch right now.  Almost to Mom's /Dad's beak off!  Guess they are getting very hungry.

Or they are just feeling pretty full of themselves with grown-up bird bling.  8)

Amazing what some food will do. A meal and then silence as they doze off.
