RCF, do you mean the picture on the CBC cam page?  That tall one is the hotel, yes.  The stripes on the side are actually the parkade, not glass.  I never noticed before that it looks like glass!  :)  The nestbox is on the other side of the hotel; the nest ledge is on the side shown in the photo.  

EDIT NEVER MIND,  THIS IS THE KENSINGTON BLDG, THANK GOODNESS FOR GOOGLE SEARCH

 I mean this building. ;)

Hope both white and yellow boys get back to the nest on their own steam and would that be the  building that is mostly glass I see in the google picture?

Report from the Field - 0815h CDT

Susha let me know that this evening's fledgewatchers have spotted either white or yellow on the roof of the Kensington Building (that's on the northeast corner of Portage and Smith - kitty corner to the Radisson).  There is a breeze so I haven't been able to get a still shot of his leg using the spy-cam which is the only camera on the east side of the Hotel.  But from the blurry image I did, it looks more white than yellow, but it could be just the way the westering sun is shining on it.  The Fledgewatchers are continuing their hunt for the "other" fledgee and will report back when they can.

Note about the Kensington Building for those who are not familiar with downtown Winnipeg - it is just a few stories lower than the Radisson roof - if this bird decides to take a circle around the Hotel from his location, he will have absolutely no problem making altitude and returning to the nestbox/ledge if that's what he wants to do!

Way to go Fledgewatchers!!!

I took this video just before the two boys were spooked and fledged yesterday.  The parents are alarm calling and all three chicks are following them......they are almost synchronized while watching.  ;D

Some falcon birdie squawking up a storm.  Not either of the two in the nest/by the nest box.  They keep looking overhead so some parent, I guess.

Wow!  My internet modem goes down for a day and when I come back, three have fledged, one is back with a transmitter!!!  Red gal stays put!  What a wise bird to wait for bit unit she fledges!  I note all the dropped off food for these ones at the nestbox.  Princess and Ivy must just drop them off as they keep an eye out for the Whitey and Yellow bird!  I guess it is that time of the year.  Looks like they will have a few more weeks of practice flying and foraging for food than Cade, Carson, and Beatrix did last year.  Thanks all to all the fledgewatchers for doing what you are doing!!  8) :D 8)

I sure hope they stay put, Colonel Mustard and his antics wore me out.

And now at 1863h CDT, red has snuggled up beside her brother green/silver.  Think she is glad for the company. 
I'm glad that the two of them aren't (at the moment) expressing an interest in fledging ...  ;)

Glad to see the ledge view, TPC -- it's always heart-stopping when suddenly one disappears from the nestbox! (One that hasn't yet fledged, that is.)

And yes, red is in the corner beside the ledge cam, and green/silver is obviously napping on the ledge in front of the cam
