Oh, I know that all the Manitoba birds will be outstanding in their flying and hunting abilities if the snow holds off until a reasonable time...it just that today, it felt like it could snow by the beginning of August ::)

Just got back from a short drive in the rain. Beau was on the south sign of the Diner. Two birds on the south side of the bleachers. Could definitely make out one was a chick, the other was hard to tell, with it's damp back towards us. Will have to review my photos to be sure.

We watched the 2 if not 3 of the chicks very nimbly soaring and landing after work today - when you consider how short a time they have been flying their progress is remarkable!! They have been flying the same length of time as the McKenzie Seeds birds for those who were about to go off and count ;)

Thank for the report, TPC. I usually see at least one bird on my drive to work, but without binocs, can't tell if it's a chick or parent. The other day when I thought I saw four birds, I went back after work and using my binocs, saw that one of the "birds" was a thingie on the roof (looked like a camera ???). At that time, there were two birds, both chicks.
Sure hope the parents are able to teach the kids how to hunt before the snow falls :P Brrrr!

Same note as on Radisson thread - Winnipeg is currently under a tornado watch ...
