If we can, we will. Not sure of the timing will depend on the birds and we will be hijacking the camera to make the necessary assessments, so if you are getting a strange view or watching a tour, you'll know why.

Funny you should mention this as I've been wondering when they were going to get their antennas! Isn't it really difficult to catch them at this stage? I can just picture you running around after them on that roof. LOL. ;D

There is nobody else watching that we know of, haven't seen anyone else while we have been there. There were three of us at one time but BirdLover moved to Alberta, so just Rose and myself watch. And for fledge watch , there is nothing official and this is considered a fairly safe site for the fledglings. I work during the day and check morning and after work and if the parents alarm call while the cam is still on, Rose who is retired will go down and check if I'm working. :)

There are a few birders around Brandon who go past and check out the birds but they are not as regular or consistent as RCF and Rose (and in the old days BirdLover). And they aren't members of the Forum, so they only contact me if they have something unusual to report (like the return of a bird/birds in the spring), not so much the day to day sightings. RCF and Rose are the ones who provide that wonderful colour commentary.

I have to say my move to AB was for good reason (my grandkids :D) but I sure do miss hanging out downtown and watching the birdies with Rose and RCF. Miss you both and I'm glad you are taking such an active role in keeping tabs on our Brandon family. :-*

I was wondering... how do they get off the skylight? Do they walk down the back or hop/fly to the ground? Has anyone seen? I'm sure RCF must have seen how they do it...
Oh for Pete's sake... I've been sitting here, staring at the screen waiting to see if somebirdie would leave the ledge, I turned around to talk to my daughter and when I turned back one of them was gone. :-\
So it's still a mystery to me...

She just walked to the edge and flew straight off to the east blink and you missed it. ;D
