West Winnipeg - 2012 / Beau & Jules
RCF:
Thanks dupre, it's great to see them with your own eyes and not just on the camera. ;) 8)

Took a tour in the West Winnipeg area, spotted Jules at the Diner. Here are a few shots. The light really shows off the salmon coloured breast.
Just after taking these pictures, Jules took off from the Diner. She headed to the nest.
Took a drive around looking for Beau, but did not see him. When we swung by the nest again, Jules was circling and not very happy with the goings on in the area. After a few minutes and a dozen circles she returned to her usual perch. That's when I spotted one of the chicks on the "nest ledge". WOW, not so white.

Nope, not yet. We'll get though.

We will let you know what happens.

With all due respect, please define the snafu.

It's an military acronym which I shall translate as "situation normal: all fouled up". ;)
Access is a problem at this site - that's the fouled up normal situation I'm afraid. Last week we were unable to get access on the day we had planned for. We feel we have abit more leeway to safely band the chicks here because of the location at the nestsite, but not much, so we are going to keep trying to get access, hopefully in the next 7 days.
Hope that helps ...
