Thanks, carly. I guess I just assumed that all sites were managed by volunteer scientists (biologists?) like Tracy here in Winnipeg. ::) Guess we are pretty fortunate to have someone with her expertise and commitment here in Winnipeg. 8)
I may head down to the Crowne-Plaza with my own binoculars when I visit my friends in Ottawa in August. :D

Yes, I did notice that, kittenface, every time I have tried to open the webcam. ::) Then who is posting the incorrect observations on the homepage? ??? Does anyone know if there's someone I can contact there (with up-to-date, reliable information - like say, a biologist) who is involved with this site? I can't seem to find any contact info on the homepage. :-\

I don't know if they are incorrect per say..I just know the site is not monitored regularly. If you only drop by a site once a month or less ..you don't get the entire picture of what is going on. As far as I know there is no one monitoring that site on a regular basis - it's more like call the one or two people they know and ask them to go check on the site. I can ask and find out for you if you like.
Biologists here don't look after the sites anymore Kinderchick..it's strictly a volunteer type of thing if there was a birding association there who was interested and I don't think there is currently or if the building shows an interest they will contact the MNR/CPF if there is something going on. If there are young and there is public interest then they will band but otherwise they are being allowed to live without interference. It was different when they were listed as endangered but they are not anymore in Ontario..they were moved to threatened awhile back.
The MNR is in the process of doing a new count of the Pefa here this year and it is expected they will be de-listing them again. What does that mean? Well it means they are doing quite well and with our government being broke and cutting back on costs - they will likely redirect any funds to another species that needs help.
All that being said, if you have friends who want to see them then there is nothing stopping them from grabbing some binoculars and hanging out down there to keep tabs on them.
