Hurricane just left the eggs (all look fine) and Brooklyn is not on-duty.

Just as a note, Eye-Spy was in Brandon again today tweaking the camera for its debut this week.  No date yet, we are just running some final tests but as soon as I do, you all will too!

Checked on our birdies today around 11:30am.  I couldn't see the top of Hurricane's head in the nest box, but I'm sure she is there and Brooklyn was on the mts tower.  :)

I didn't get to Brandon today, but I think the weather is a bit better today, not terribly warm but the sun is shining for Hurricane and Brooklyn.

Think it is Hurricane on the eggs but they has their head tucked down and angled away from the cam so its hard to be positive and its hard to gauge size because of the way they are lying.  Still think its Hurricane.    Windy here, "her" feathers are getting fluffed up pretty much continuously, but at least it isn't raining.  Cooler temps though.  Makes one think of the three bears: "this one is too wet and this one is too hot but this one is just right", well, not quite today but, again, at least it isn't raining.

Hurricane in the nest box, Brooklyn out flying around,he finally settled on the MTS tower(can't miss his white front).Ocasionally we could see Hurricane moving around in the box. The weather has greatly improved now a mix of sun and cloud and no rain. :)

It is raining in Brandon, we got the rain stream past the dome of the windowcam thing going on here.  Its Brooklyn on the nest right now - figures, its raining and windy, where else would he be  ::)  Despite her name, our Hurricane does not seem to like incubating in bad weather.

Birds appear to be doing just fine...hard to tell he/she head tucked into the corner and the wind blow up his/her tail feathers.

We went to watch the grandkids.....was great! (hadn't seen them in 4 months) BOT, because of the miserable weather and my hubby being in a rush to get home  ::)  we didn't go up the back lane to the parking lot to observe from the west side.

Had to go through Brandon today enroute to a ball game in Dauphin(yes, I did say ball game) and swung by the McKenzie building. There wasn't a bird in sight but I guess I don't know all the places to look.   :(  :'(
Sorry you didn't see our falcons, you can't see into the nest box from any place except if one of them puts their head up and on a rainy day they each have their favorite places to stay out of the rain and you have to troll the back lanes and parking lots to find them. Did you win? ::)
