McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane

Dang, I missed it too!  I hope TPC will post it on the net.  
I do believe they are now in the box on the roof.  Different box roof and light.  They will be exploring in no time.

Thanks everyone, I was watching the banding at work and was interupted toward the end--so I didn't get a good look at all the "handwaving". I had been trying to keep one eye on the video to catch a glimpse of a handwritten note as others were.

Next question....does anyone know where the chicks are?  It doesn't look like they're back in the nestbox - or perhaps the camera angle is just different.....but I'm wondering if they were placed back somewhere else (like the roof, like last year).

They still look a little shell-shocked, don't they?

[SuzieQmb]

Yes, dupre, we do know this for sure, because although there was no audio, TPC held up 2 fingers and pointed to a man (Dr. Bob or Dan, I think) and then she held up 1 finger and pointed to a woman (female conservation officer, I think.)

Oh, so that's what she was doing!!!  I couldn't figure out why she was waving her arms around.... kept expecting someone to hold up a piece of paper with the notes on it like they've often done in the past!

LOL - you're so wise!!!!!

whoops - that quote didn't work quite right - not sure why......

...TPC, your female assistant, was this Rose or RCF? If so, so very happy to "meet" the person behind the posts and /or the photos and videos.   

No, gemcity, the woman was neither Rose nor RCF. Not sure who it was, but I'm thinking it might have been a female conservation officer.

Do we know for sure that it is two boys and one girl, or is this just an oppinion that someone posted and everyone else ran with?

Middle chick was sure having a heated conversation with TPC. TPC said, "Right back at you"! Female?

Darn, missed the whole banding .  Hopefully it is on film and I can watch the "rerun".  Sounds quite interesting.

  Quiet has been restored. Two appear to be asleep, one sitting in the corner asking, "What just happened"? Thanks to all for this incredible experience. Enjoy a wonderful lunch before heading back to Winnipeg. TPC, your female assistant, was this Rose or RCF?

Looks like they're still blocked from access to the outside world.....?

The 2 boys and 1 girl are now back in the nestbox. I can still hear the parents squawking away! Chicks are looking pretty stunned right now.

I am wondering if they are going to put them back in the nestbox or back in the box on the roof like they did last year.  The roof was a great place for them to learn how to move and test their wings but they were often out of camera range.  Hard to tell with the fuzzy view right now, but I think it might be the roof box...

Two boys and one girl!

Middle chick sure looked fiesty!  Probably the one who bites Hurricane's toes!

Thank you Leana. That is the feeling that I was going that there was going to be 1 girl and 2 boys just by the I was looking at them. Plus also by learning what I did well look at the Raddison chicks taught me alot of the sizes of the chicks well they are growing up.

Just what I thought, and yes I noticed the "biter!"
