Will the Regina chicks be banded by anyone, TPC?

Thanks RCF - was doing some last minute posting before heading out for the Radisson & Logan bandings this morning

I also received a couple of photos but need to get permission to post - hope to post them here tomorrow - one of a chick pile the other of Andamooka's unbanded mate.  And Dennis gave me some photos from his Regina trip today so I'll post one from there too so you all can see the whole family.

According to TPC's Twitter post Andamooka and her mate have four chicks.

Out-of-Towners - Andamooka (2014 West Wpg) is a mommy! Reports out of Regina says she has 4 chicks about a week old!

I don't know if there are eggs or chick's.

I'm sitting here behind city hall and both birds are flying around for the last 20 minutes.  it's pretty breezy out.

Sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon. 
Guess you do not know if they have a nest or chicks?

Unfortunately, I do not yet know where all their "hiding" places are, so it's tough to know where to look.  Tricky buggers! 

You aren't alone Allikat - Dennis had a hard time finding/tracking them when he was out there too!

I was driving downtown yesterday, and only heard them this time.

The good news is that at least I heard them.

No additional news yet from the folks in Regina ... but it early days yet for this pair - only just a month since we thought Andamooka's mate (or new mate) returned.  We believe same as last year because he is unbanded.

Will post updates if I receive any - though, likely Allikat will hear things first!!

Well....thank birdies ( ) for Dennis' visit and photos!!!  Thanks Bob!!! 
Sorry Forum Followers, I have been out of town for a couple of weeks, and was unable to be on the lookout.
I did however, do some walkabouts on Tuesday, and Wednesday, to check up on the birds....saw absolutely nothing.
Big surprise!!!   
I hope to get out over the weekend to have a look-see!!!

Good thing I'm retired since the Manitoba territory now includes Saskatchewan, lol...recent road trip West and a visit to Regina to visit family...and since I was in the area thought I should try and locate the birds.
Did confirm the male is un-banded...who knows he could even be one of the Radisson birds that didn't get banded ?
Andamooka was less than cooperative on the couple day's that I was watching as I was only able to get photos of her back...only able to confirm the bird has an antenna.

Hope to have an update from Regina in the next day or so ... 

I hope so too ...

Oh man...instant smile on my face, which turned to joy when I actually saw them!
Yes folks, them = plural!  

How exciting.

You've certainly been falcon searching for a long time Allikat, and I'm so happy you were finally able to spot "them"!

I'm looking forward to further reports of Andamooka and her friend.
