Thanks Allicat for the update on Jules and Ivy.  I have been wondering about them and was hoping to drive out "there" this wknd to see if I might spot them.  My daughter has observed them quite a bit and says I have to see the beauty that Jules is.

Mornin' folks,

Just wanted to let you everyone know that Jules and Ivy were together this morning perched about 10 feet apart from each other enjoying the morning sun.  Ahhhh, young love.   :-*

Saw one this morning perched...I think it was Ivy, based on size.  Saw Jules tearing the skies up yesterday....They are fun to watch. 
It's very hard to keep my eyes on the road...yes, I stop.

Saw one of them soaring above the empty army base as I was traveling on Route 90.

For some reason, all of the small birdies were hiding :D

You bet Bev... :)

Saw Jules again this morning on her favorite perch...I'm assuming it's her fav because she's been there a lot.

Allikat:
You will have to leave your address here when you move . We pass through there when going to Winnipeg
We were stationed in Regina fro 2 years and I did not mind it at all. I was not not peregrines then. Hope there is one there for you to watch
sorry TPC

It was Jules...I saw her do a fly around with the wind and come across super fast and go up to her perch.  She's amazing to watch!

Looked like Jules hanging out on the B&B this evening ... not surprising given the windspeed and direction, her corner is nice and sheltered ...

I spotted Jules today on my way downtown. She was perched on the shady side of a building.

Woo hoo! A sighting (maybe)! Somebody (Ivy? Jules?) atop a building while I was driving east on Portage. Given that I was driving and my distance vision is not the greatest, I can't be sure but it certainly looked like it should be a peregrine. That's the trouble with bad eyes. Which leads to a question for another thread - can someone who is very short-sighted help with fledge watch?

Thanks Liz!!
And yes..I'm moving!  I'm moving to Regina...a job offer that I just had to take!
I will certainly miss Winnipeg with all of my heart..and I will miss seeing Jules, Ivy, Trey & Princess twice a day!  Thankfully, I have webcams and the forum to keep my updated!
