One of the males is sitting on the letter D right at this time. I thought they left as have not seen them since the day at the bus stop. He was been there for well over on hour so far today.

Nice spotting Cooper !!!!
Nothing new on the east side this week. Perhaps a walk-about later this week to see what we can see??

Somebirdy on the "d", west side Radisson at about 12:35 p.m.. I couldn't tell who it was. If I had to guess, I'd say Ivy due to white breast but seemed smaller somehow. Anyway, very active - looking left, looking right, looking up and looking down, bob, bob, bob, bob. He was gone 5 minutes later when I came back out of the bank.

One of the young'uns came to visit me on York Ave at noon today. Came in from the north over the government building then turned north-east and dive-bombed over the Convention Centre and out of sight. Very pretty against the blue sky.  :)

They were probably both wondering what you were doing with all of that good stuff :P ::)
And that really sometimes you need to stay out of the cleaning staff's way and trust their judgement.

Dennis and I were doing some housecleaning at the Radisson today (two bags worth!) and Ivy was tucked up out of the wind on the G of the north side Rogers sign and Carson was on the north side of the Canada Post building on the railing.  Neither one of them batted an eye as we fished bones and feathers and wings and feet (and all sorts of other unmentionables) out of their nestbox.  And I checked the recorder and neither Ivy nor Carson came to check out what we had been doing after the fact - little rotters!!  ;)

Didn't see anyone else the whole time we were there - not on the signs, nearby buildings, antennae, ledges ... perhaps too much wind.

Sheesh! I missed them today too. I'm going to have to refine my stalking techniques I guess.

You will have to stop working and go walking.

2:00 pm today Princess was on the ledge.
In the last 7 minutes, 3 sightings of the kids playing tag.

Oh you lucky duck! I was downtown looking for them at about 1:30, but on the West side. No sign of them. Glad you spotted them. :)

Yup, Carson, seems he came in about 30 minutes earlier chasing Ivy, looks like some food begging. Ivy took off and Carson hung out for the next half hour until he too took off ...

1559h
One of the kids was parked on the north corner of the nestbox up until a moment ago.  Not sure but I think it was Carson as he's the one with the strongest (lightest/golden) head pattern as I recall.  Going to rewind the recorder and look at the images one frame at a time to see if I can see his tape as he took off ...

 ;D So very happy you saw Princess and the kids, bccs. A sight to behold.  ::) Wish I could have seen them. Hope they stay for Thanksgiving and have a home grown pigeon.  ;)
