Sunday - My mom is the one who got me into bird watching so I thought I would give her a mother's day treat...
We came by the Buhler building about 1:00 just to see if either bird was about...sure enough some birdie was sitting on the J. She/he took off just as we were watching and flew by in front of the car so my mom could get a good look at her/him. It was the first close up sighting for my mom.

Seriously tho'
I did get to see both falcons at the Buhler Centre around 11:00. First one was perched on the J on the east side overlooking the little parking lot. After watching for a while, then walking to other possible vantage points within a block or so, I returned to find the other falcon on the south east corner of the building just above J. This was quite a treat to see the 2 of them so close to each other. After maybe 5 minutes, the one on sentry took off flyng to (as I recall) up and maybe SSSE, but certainly up, up, and away. Waited about 5 minutes before leaving. Other one still on the J.

Drove by the CSC lab this morning - what a clean, white, sterile-looking place - no doubt the look they were planning for, with good reason.
I look forward to phanatics sitting around the perimeter on comfy lawn chairs with our Tim Hortons breakfasts -binoculars, spotting scopes, and camera(s) bigger than a small child - perhaps they'll invite us all in - or perhaps we'll get to see people in uniforms and ...
Wait a minute ...I didn't mean fanatics! Will someone please explain to these nice officers?

But it sure is helpful from our perspective!
