Moonstar:
Thanks for the posts on the banding everyone. Sounds like you all had a great time. Wish I could have been there but I could not get time off of work. Short week and so much to do.
All your explanations are wonderful and I could visualize how things were.
Feeling a teeny weeny bit of envy but also very happy to read about it.
Nice surpris for you all to find 4 chicks instead of 3. Just so exciting.
Thanks again to all of you for the great postings.

That's wonderful...and can't wait to read more :D
I'm so happy that it was a great day for banding and that ya'll were able to take part.

Today was extraordinary. It started very early, met Kinderchick at Polo Park, cruised along Portage Ave and met up with Sami.
Hit the highway and 2 and 1/2 hours zipped by. Great company, great conversation :-*. We got to the parkade, unfolded ourselves ( well just Sami, cause Kinderchick and I are vertically challenged ) and looked about for other birdie people. We spotted Rose and RapidcityManitoba fan, became instant friends and started to laugh and be silly ( Can y'all believe that ::) ::))
Then birdlover showed up, directed us to the best vantage point. And then TPC, Dennis and Dr. Bob pulled up.
Well now, it was like the tooth fairy and Santa Clause all rolled into one. TPC most graciously gave us her sight scope to look through. And cause Linderlou couldn't make it ( hope all is well LL ) we had no walkie-talkies. TPC, being the godess that she is, decided cell phone on speaker would work, and lo and behold, we had a match-up.
So off the 3 trundled to do the banding. The rest of us stayed at the parkade, laughing, joking, getting to know each other ( not a hard thing to do ), just having a grand old time.
And then........
The falcon parents went into high alert. Swooping, talking, diving, and angry. Yup, the people were up on the roof >:( >:(
Saw Bob, then Dennis ,then Tracy. And the the ladder appeared!!!!! Meantime, TPC had called the watchers cell, went on speaker phone and we were all able to hear a blow by blow description of the banding.
Had a lovely wave from Dan the man on the ladder, we all did the awwww thing and waved back.
Those chicks were some annoyed.
And at the same time, the parents were none too pleased.That is putting it mildly ;D
gotta go, more to follow.....
BirdLover:
Yep, the entire thing was a real blast! I will be there next year too. I may have to make a special trip into Winnipeg to attend one of the Phanatic dates that happen occassionally.
And yes, the birds preformed great! I was in awe of their aerobatics :o :o

The Bison Burgers & Fries at the Double Decker are great ! Ice water...cool and refreshing...after time on the roof . Endless cups of coffee (hate having to ask for a refill)
A private area for the Phanatics...keeping the rowdy bunch away from the regulars!
Almost forgot...The Birds Performed Great...should have a couple of decent photos ??
Was great to put a name to the face and a...you know the rest !
Cheers !
