Considering the kind of contortions it takes to get a look at all four sides of that building while driving, we are probably just lucky we didn't crash into each other!!  Next time I'll wave just in case  :)

TPC, looks like you and I happened by at about the same time. If I knew you were coming I'da baked a cake. Or at least waved.  :)

Cooper:
Okay, either these chicks are ready to go any minute or they had visitors from downtown. I drove by the diner this morning about 8:30 (ya, late for work and in no hurry) to see four birds on the building. One each on the NW and NE corners (often see the parents in these positions) and two more on the East side, with middle birdie flapping like crazy, looking quite strong, and somebody (maybe more than one of them) calling and making a lovely-to-hear racket.  :)

The Peregrine Chick:
I counted 4 on the walls this morning - at least 2 were chicks though likely one adult and all there chicks.  Winds were light at the time which is a good thing, their fledge site has very strong prevailing winds (usually west to east).  All the nestsites in West Winnipeg are windier more often even than the Radisson.  Radisson is loudier and more problematic - more swirl than the winds in West Winnipeg.  Means the West Winnipeg chicks will have to learn to fledge with more consistent winds than the Radisson chicks - there is no place to really get away from the wind at any of the West Winnipeg nestsites.  Different skill sets for different nest sites that's for sure.

On a work related drive by Monday found 1 chick a flapping and 1 watching under the watchful eye of one of the adults...it's like they got their get out of jail free card.
