McKenzie Seeds - 2013 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
RCF:
I didn't see Hurricane but I saw Spencer and Brooklyn today. Spencer was eating on the north edge of the McKenzie roof and Brooklyn was perched on the Scotia building. I also watched seven Sandhill Cranes fly over the McKenzie building......there were five and then two stragglers. 8)

Brooklyn

Looks like Hurricane perched on the east edge of the nestbox. According to Environment Canada there is a light rain shower in Brandon but right now and it looks like rain in the background on the camera but can't see any "wet" on the box itself.
RCF:
6:40am
Two chicks were chasing a parent, couldn't tell which parent as it was too dark and it was cloudy. The parent perched and the two chicks lit on the mts tower for a few minutes yelling their displeasure at Mom or Dad . Then both kids were chasing a pigeon that had been on the mts building, one chick made contact but the pigeon is a fast flyer too. I had to leave to go to work so I hope they caught their breakfast. I didn't see any of them after work.
RCF:
I only saw Hurricane today, first thing this morning on the east light, then on the louvered ledge of the Scotia building after work.
The Peregrine Chick:
RCF pointed out that I missed posting this sighting on the Forum as well as on Twitter ... IBrooklyn was on the nestbox this morning, just sitting in the sun. Hurricane arrived and they did their usual (at this time of year) bowing to one another for about 30-40 seconds, then he left and she had a little scrape in the back of the nestbox and then she too bolted from the box. Same kind of thing has been happening at the Radisson and I daresay in West Winnipeg as well now that all the kids are doing exploring. Reminds me of empty-nester parents redecorating their kid's room after he/she heads off to college or a new job or a new apartment.
