There is way to much going on in our skies. And they all seem to be linked to each nest in some way , shape or form.

Radisson and Chase are fine, where their nest is.
As you all know what is happening in FT Mac our minds and thoughts and eyes are glued to the news.
We are having battles at the Bell and may have lost our male. The eggs were removed yesterday by Dr Court. We just hope that if the male has made it, that he does not go over to the U of A site. Radisson and Chase both go over there on their breaks to keep the area.
For all that know Bev, she is drained right now.
3 out of 4 nests have problems
Princess's granddaughter is doing well at the Weber with 4 eggs.
Green Girl is so beautiful to watch and DO1 is a great partner for her.
I've also put the relevant information in the Weber & Bell threads so we don't get too confused ;) TPC

According to Yahoo Maps it is 436.94 Kilometers. They have evacuation centres set up here for people so I would say they would be safe. The extension of the fire(s) is a concern for everyone. And all the wildlife and (people) will be displaced for sometime. :'(

Nest is safe. Edmonton to Fort Mac is >400 km by car (twice as far as Brandon from Winnipeg) - straight line distance (as the peregrine flies) is 375 km, so not that much closer. As an added bonus, there is a huge firebreak around Edmonton - about 90km of agricultural land north of the City (as I recall) so the fires would have to come 200-300 km south, then run across a lot of agricultural land (less fuel and easier for firefighters to access) before it got to Radisson & Chase in Edmonton. And Bev, Mr Bev and Soaring West who are watching over them.
Bev, Mr Bev (hey Peter) and Soaring West can correct me if my memory and km counts are off.
