He/she was there 3 evenings last week after 4:00 ish when the sun has passed over head and the sign is in the shade of the building.

I was pretty sure it would be an adult given what we have seen of fledgling behaviour at this time of the year. Thanks for the confirmation Birdnut!!

Juveniles & adults look very different so if the shape was visible but no detail, it could be. Not sure that that would be the case though, the kids seem to prefer to hang around with others, not by themselves at a somewhat hidden location ... could be though, we'll have to see if anyone can get a decent look at the bird when/if it next appears ...

The Peregrine Chick:
We went a-wandering yesterday and no sign of anyone at CSC or HSC or the Crow's Nest, so it may be that Cowboy and Kate did leave us when the prey returned and that its one of the Radisson or West Winnipeg birds taking a break. We ID Jules at this location in the spring so we know she goes there. I'm inclined to say it was a Radisson bird, though we haven't been able to ID them by their bands here this year - Jules and Beau continue to be in their territory pretty consistently since the start of nesting.
Its a bit early for birds from away to be turning up, give it another month, month-and-a-half and then it could be a resident bird or a traveller.
