Nah, you will be there in no time!!!! That was our boy on the base of the clock tower and when I went out it was him and a sister.  My goodness you sure could see a marked difference in their sizes   :o :o

;D  ;D Then rcmbf and I got a real treat, Zeus spotted a man on the roof of Princess towers (2 blocks away to the south) he took off straight over there circled the tower twice dive bombed him a couple of times and came back to his perch, on his way back he flew down 9th street right past where we were standing and about at our eye level. We  were only about 10 feet away could see all of him very clearly this could only happen once in a life time so we were truly awestruck :o :o He flew right past us,so I guess he didn't consider us a threat. What an exciting morning!!!!

Wow Eee, Rose and Rapidcity! You two sure did have a real treat!!! How exciting!Thanks for sharing it with us! ;D

Glad you saw the other chicks Birdlover.   :) Before we went for coffee, I had to go back up to the parkade for money and I saw one of the chicks try to land on the very top of the pole on McK bldg. I think it's a round metal ball ( maybe lightning rod   :-\ ).  Well it couldn't land there and flew to the bottom of clock tower, it was still there after coffee. Sure was cool to see Zeus so close on his flyby.  ;D ;D

Ha Ha, good one Rose!!!


I too have just come home from downtown and was hanging out with rcmf.  It is REALLY windy here today so all are keeping a low profile.  We only saw the boy on the base of the clock tower, Hurricane on the east light on the clock tower and Zeus nicely tucked under the trim on the side of the building.

So, we went for coffee...

However, when I went to catch the bus, I came out of the mall and looked up and there on the base of the clock tower were two kids!!  Hurricane in the same place and so was Zeus.  So, I walk over to the bus terminal, and looked between the building and it's annex and there was another kid!!

So, three kids and two adults present and accounted for today.  I am assuming that it's too windy for the kids to be doing much today.  NW 28 gusting to 43.  It is hard to breath and some of those buildings create wind tunnels.

So, all in all, a good day.
