I have been hearing that strange banging too, ballywing and wondered what it was. TPC is probably right - a loose louvre. But I can also hear what sounds like vehicles going by down below. Must be the direction the wind is blowing. That mic sure is powerful.

Not sure about the banging you are talking about ballywing, but the high pitched whine is the wind blowing through the louvres on the roof. As for the banging, nope not the hotel construction at Portage & Donald - they have finished for the night and they aren't doing any of that kind of work - they are digging out at the moment, pile-driving will come soon enough, just not yet.
I'm wondering if there is a louvre that is a little loose and banging when the wind is in just the right direction - if it were close enough to the where the microphone has been installed, that could account for the clear sound. If it were near, it wouldn't need to be very loud in real life, remember that you can hear the birds on the pebbles when they come into the box at times!

Its raining enough that the sky-cam dome is blurry. Didn't stop our boy Ivy from turning up with a meal for the kids. Two are very interested in food, third somewhat, fourth not much, but not really surprising looking at his/her crop. But they are all chowing down nonetheless.

I thought it seemed like they were have something to eat more frequently ... .
The chicks are huddled against the back wall with Ivy (I think - based on height and the chicks over flowing). A squirmy chick worked his/her way from the middle of the pile for a stretch and realized that on a cool evening, the best place to be is in the chick pile.
