McKenzie Seeds - 2009 / Zeus & Hurricane
Rose:
Back down town about 11:00 am. we drove up 10th street passed the old sun building, no chick so kept looking and realized wrong building,the right building was acoss the street just across the lane from McKenzie building but still no chick. Started to drive down Rosser Ave. and there was Fate (could see the white tape) just down the lane at the top south east corner of the Bass Building. He was close enough so rcmbf took some pictures. Finally got back to the parkade,not long after we were back watched the boy take off and fly to the yellow brick across from parkade,he spread his wings and settled down for a rest.
We went for lunch,he was still there when we got back. THe chick on the wall of mckenzie build was still in much the same place,moving along the edge but mostly staying in the shade of the corner pillar and ocassionaly doing some wingerzing.Couldn't see the 2 in the nest box but knew they were still there.
About 12:45 two people stopped and asked about the falcons they were the glider people from Dauphin and belong to the forum,we had a nice little chat and then birdlover turned up so it was very nice to finally meet again first time since the banding and just missing each other so many other times.
Not long after she arrived Fate decided it was time to move,this time he flew north and up to the roof of the old mts building that's higher than the building he was on.He seemed to have no problem going higher and his flight seemed strong.What an exciting day! Had to go home so left Bird lover to mind the store.
BirdLover:
See, I miss all the good stuff. Missed that cuz I was buying bus tickets. ARGH Stupid bus.
gliderpeople:
Just as we got in our car ready to leave from the parkade, we just saw the boy fly from the white brick building with the big antenna to the red brick building just north of the main McKenzie Seed building. He made a safe landing and after a few minutes took off flying north and then west and we lost sight of him behind the building. We drove to the other side of McKenzie Seeds but couldn't see him. Hope he landed somewhere safe. It was great to meet all the Brandon fledgewatchers.
BirdLover:
OMG :o What a terrific day!! It is so much more fun to falcon watch with Phanatics. Got to the parkade about one and who do I find but Rose, RCMCF, AND THE GLIDERPEOPLE. Awesome to meet you gliderpeople! And great to see Rose and RCMCF again too! ;D
We have one chick that has left the building. We are pretty sure we saw the white tape on the leg so that's our boy and he is doing TERRRIFIC. Already gone from one building to the next and not down either. He flew UP!!!!
One girl on the lower roof ledge of the MacKenzie Seeds building. Up and down off the ledge and lots of noise being made by both kids that have flown.
Both chicks in the nest are very curious as to what is going on. My golden girl has been doing lots of wingercizing. She wants to go soooo badly.
Will keep y'all posted.
I am just so happy to have seen one chick fly this season and it's only the beginning!!!
carly:
Thank you for the updates and for keeping an eye on these guys!! I hope the little one on the four story building is not too low and can make it up to higher altitude!
Talons crossed for more safe flights! Please keep us updated on their progress!
