McKenzie Seeds - 2011 / Brooklyn & Hurricane

<< < (421/470) > >>

Rose:
Just had a call from RCF she says she won't be in today so it's good that the connection is still up. She would have to drive 12 miles west on no.1 hwy cross the river and then drive 12 miles back on 1A and the water is almost up to the bottom of that bridge too ::)

Rose:
The weather is not co-operating with the flood fighters today, still rainy and drizzly no wind and thats a help for our birdies. It's good to see Brooklyn doing his duty in the box. This am just after 7:00 there has been a manditory evacuation of all houses and businesses north of CPR tracks between 26th street  and 4th street  and south of the river about 900 homes and businesses, this only a precaution the dykes are still okay. THe city and provence have been hampered in their preperations by so many Voyeurs some even letting their kids up on the dykes. There is only one way into Brandon from the north (18th street down to one lane each way) so I guess we will have to wait it out and hope for the best!! Hope your connections stay intact but as you say the Falcons have been doing this for years with no one able to see and have been very successful ::)

The Peregrine Chick:
1015 hrs

Brooklyn is in the box on the eggs and he is tucked down flat in the box as it is raining and a bit breezy (his feathers are getting fluffed a bit).  Rain is suppose to continue I hear on/off (more on I think) for the next four days in Brandon so its good seeing them able to just tuck down and zone out.

As a separate note, our internet connection to the nestbox is fine at the moment but a chunk of Brandon is prepping to evacuate if necessary over the next couple/few days, so it is possible that we could lose our signal if  Westman Communications' system runs into trouble because of the flooding.  Having said that, the birds will be fine, they've been doing this since 1993 without an internet connection and can do it without us.   We'll be watching and keeping our fingers crossed however and will keep everyone informed.

Didn't you know that rcf is the Forum's undercover agent in Brandon, E-S? ??? Why do you think she snaps so many photos? ;)

And yes I'm talking about the nest box camera installed on April 12th.

REAL men don't wear leather.  But then again, I wasn't stealing their babies.....

And thanks for keeping my first visit a secret  ;)
