Confirmed bird sitting on the nestbox was/is Sandy from Fargo ... she's took off a few minutes ago, but I think she's back on the east-side sign, unless someone else can see a bird from their office windows at the moment ...

Cooper maybe you could visit bccs at work and go up on the roof.  

A wise and cunning plan Moonstar!  ;D

Bird is definitely not Princess, is a female however.  Got a very quick peak at the coloured band it is black over green and I'm pretty sure I saw a sideways "V" on it, so there's a good chance this could be Sandy from Fargo who hung out at the Radisson the last two autumns ....  And if she made a big impression on Ty last fall, he could turn up soon ...

Have the skycam aimed at her little toes as we speak in case I get a chance to see her band number again ...

Yay! Thanks Pam.

I have to admit that I'd already started making up excuses to waltz around down there for sneak peeks. Well somebody has to go to the bank and buy office supplies. But I hadn't spotted anyone and wasn't too too disappointed thinking no one would be around yet. Now I have a valid reason to look. Come to think of it, I think I might have to go out for supplies this afternoon!

YAY!!!  A falcon is back.  Thanks Pam for the great photo.

Bird is on the nestbox watching the world go by and having a half doze ...



very full black cap reminiscent of Trey and the pre-Princess Radisson birds ...

Hmmm, can't see a crown of light-coloured feathers on his/her head ... so maybe Princess is not going to be the first bird home this year .... hmm, who could you be ... ???



Will post more photos of the bird if/when I get them in the March 16th Photo Gallery

Great News!     

Wasn't it just yesterday Mother Hen thought she saw a fly by?
