YW, I figured I had better go and check on them at least.  I don't get downtown very often and it's always by bus to I take advantage when I can.  Just can't haul the binos to work each time.  Hope to remember them tomorrow.

Hey Folks, was just downtown and had a look up at the nest box.  Could see lots of movement in there and one white head sitting near the front.  One parent sitting up on the roost on the tower of the building.  No other parent visible.
And this was all without my binos   ;D  I will try to remember them tomorrow and see if I can get a better peek into the nest box.

What wonderful pictures Dennis....as usual.  The chicks are adorable.  Tracy was a true mother when trying to calm the squaking one.  Loved the t-shirt.

"squaking"?  Was that a mis-type?  I hope not, it'd be a GREAT addition to the phanatic definitions...

What a lovely T shirt you are wearing in the photos, Tracy! 

That is the 2008 Special Edition Tee we had on sale at the beginning of the year ... they turned out well!  Hope to have another one for this year and some designs for the Project's 30th anniversary which is next year (2010).

Question for Dennis,image 0307-1 .Is that still Zues or is it Hurricane? The photo looks just like an oil painting,you can see every feather on the wings and the colour is amazing.   

I'm not positive of this because I haven't been through all of Dennis' photos yet, but I think that is Hurricane, the female ...

Dennis, the photos are wonderful! The peregrines are beautiful, of course, but it was also great to see the upclose photos of the banding itself (right from chick in a bucket onward!).

image 001 ,a look of disgust at the nerve of these humans to interrupt a perfectly good day. Was at the banding and had a really great time!!
