And they still enjoy each other - and they seem to understand time better than a lot of humans - again by 2155h all the kids were home at the nestbox. Won't last for much longer, but nice, and amazing, to see while it does.

No plans for a public camera here - cameras are expensive and they mean that occupants/residents lose a lot of privacy so they aren't often popular which we can fully understand, having peregrines on your building isn't the easiest thing to live with (despite what we might think ;)) and having a live webcam can make it a thousand times worse. The Radisson is okay with it in part because it is a public space already and the peregrines have been there since 1988 (first successful nest in 1989) so they are very used to them. McKenzie Seeds is unoccupied at the moment but the peregrines have been there since the early 1990s nesting, earlier than that we were releasing captive-bred chicks there so they too have a long familiarity with having peregrines on-the-roof. No other site in the province is like that and with the explosion of the internet and all the benefits and problems it provides, public webcams are not something many folks jump at. So it may be that updates and play-by-plays (when we can) are the best we can provide I'm afraid. :)

At around 7:15, I saw one of the chicks on the wall, gearing up for a short flight. S/he took off to the northwest, flapping madly in a circular path out and back to the building, and glided in for a landing somewhere on the roof. 8) Beatrix and a napping chick were perched on the letters.
photosbydennis:
All 4 chicks have now fledged, last one went this morning...10:00 pm. all 4 chicks are now back at the nest box for the night.
photosbydennis:
Now have 3 chicks back in the nestbox and all facing North...perhaps it's the wind or perhaps they are waiting for # 4 to come screaming in ???
