Nope!  And I think ballywing was saying the same thing.  I've seen one sitting in a few places, but have yet to see flight at all.  I guess I'm just spoiled this year because we're so far ahead.  Last year, we were just getting started at this time!  I'm sure (hope) that when the eggs hatch, they'll spend more time at the hotel, and then I'll see them. 

Oops, didn't mean to change the topic of this thread.

That's the hard part..keeping focus on the road  ::)
I usually pull over to watch...but this was so unexpected  :D

(neither one of you have seen P &/or T, fly around downtown?)

allikat, I haven't had that experience yet this year.  I'm hoping that once P&T's chicks hatch, they'll go back to the antennas on the Radisson.  I hope you see it again many times over the summer -- just keep one eye on the road! LOL

Oh Liz...it was wonderful.  I've seen them flying around the area... but it's just different when they fly right above you.   ;D

On my way home today...not sure if it was Jules or Ivy as I don't know the differences between the color of their breast, but I saw this magnificant bird come out of nowhere and he/she flew right over the traffic...approx.  40 ft above. 
My eyes are green!  ;D  You are SO lucky!

Cheers !
I love the shot of Jules where it seems like she's looking right at you, and she probably was.  "I see you there, I'm keeping my eye on you!"
Great photos Dennis...they are so clear and it shows how perfect Jules' feathers are in mid flight!

Dennis, absolutely great photos. Are you going to take any of them actually on the eggs?

Wonderful photos of the west Winnipeg birds as always Dennis.  I hope that you weren't hanging off any rooftops at the time! And those recent photos of the owlets, wow, just spectacular.  ;D

And so, here I stand, sword in one hand, taser in the other. I'm a woman of all ages. Alone, alone, just like Joan d'Arc as she stood on the pile of burning wood.
Confident in my righeousness, head held high, thinking only of the welfare of the ww chicks ( had to bring it back to topic somehow ).

If you offend the 'chick'
you'll feel her 'stick'
otherwise known as her 'hoe'
out of the sandbox you'll 'go'
if you hear a 'beep beep'
you'll know you are in 'deep'
so you'd better scrape and 'bow'
or you'll feel the 'pow'
both friend and 'foe'
and now you 'know'.
