8:05 am and just checking in on Cassie - yay I got to sleep in =p! She is posing for the camera and wow she is darker this morning, she actually looks slimmer this morning..lol...lots of wing stretching. She was finishing off something a few minutes ago and looks quite contented.
Wow again! Big wing flap session - all I could see was a blur!! She's going to start getting so active now - I don't want to miss anything!

I have corresponded with Mark Nash quite a bit in the past but this year I have only talked to him a few times. busy year for the both of us. He does a lot of good work. I hope you get to go also. when I went to the raptor centre in Duncan it was awesome to see all the raptors. I will post pictures soon. Delta is keeping me hopping also.
the problem at this nest is that they are feeding her too good. Pictures tomorrow as I am tired. I wrote to Lisa so see what reply I get.
Good night all.

I think she's on to us watching her and that's her way of hiding from us ;D

oh, oh..you lucky girl! Please let us know how they're doing! When I was doing fledge watch here in June, one of the volunteers asked if I would be interested in helping out at the Sportsman show this Fall if they need help - apparently CPF does a booth there and brings all the birds (Eagle, Peregrines, FoxTail, Barn Owl, etc..) so I said oh yes I'd love to! I hope they will need me cause I'd love to see the birds close up - it would be a learning experience. I have seen a picture of Mark Nash with the eagle and it's half the size of him!! Which means it would be almost as big as me..lol...hope he/she doesn't decide I look like lunch =p

Hello Lisa,
Thank you for answering my question about the peregrine chick.
I got the news of the banding from Bev who was with the biologists during the banding of the chick, and the attempted trapping for transmitter attachment of the adult female.
The webcam on this nestbox has a very large following thanks to publicity through the Canadian Peregrine Foundation. In particular, the bunch of us from the Manitoba Peregrine Falcon Project Forum are avidly following the progress of the chick, as the mother is the offspring of the current resident pair at the Winnipeg Radisson. We call her Radisson and have named the chick Cassie (Cassandra).
Just in case they think no one is out there!

bcbird, thanks so much for your response to her and telling her we're all out here, caring! It's no doubt great for them to know there is a "tower" of Phanatics out there watching and appreciating what they're doing. And really glad you told her the chicklet's name! :D
