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.
That's wonderful, birdnut! :D

We still only have one egg at CSC as of this morning's check and it doesn't look like Cowboy or Kate are ready to start incubating yet.  So, we will just have to keep an eye on them and see what they decide to do.  They have been back to the nestsite so we know that (so far) they haven't abandonned the site.  Maybe this wet weather will help them along, fortunately, its not cold and wet rather warm and wet so no harm should come to the egg over the next little bit.

More news as we have it ...

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?

... peregrines have been nesting successfully in Manitoba since 1989 and mostly we didn't have "eyes" on them so its not like they can't raise a family without us peering at them electronically all the time.  But it sure is helpful from our perspective!
I hear ya, TPC. LOL! ;)

Dennis and I are thinking of referring to Cowboy and Kate as the CSC birds just cuz its easier to pronounce than CSCHAH ...

Are there plans for a spy camera for this pair, TPC & E-S? :-\


Not sure what we are going to be able to do for this pair yet, not all buildings (believe it or not) have the infrastructure we need where we need it.  We are tossing around a couple of ideas but we will just have to see.  Having said that, the peregrines have been nesting successfully in Manitoba since 1989 and mostly we didn't have "eyes" on them so its not like they can't raise a family without us peering at them electronically all the time.  But it sure is helpful from our perspective!

Good work, TPC.
I'm very happy to think of another Tuppernest in use. 
It was great fun watching the "Great Escape" on the ledge of '09.
