Will be nice to see a few pairs nesting in Winnipeg again

It would indeed ... I'm pretty sure Tot will be the only chick I band in Manitoba.  We have a couple of other nests with chicks but they aren't accessible, so unless someone goes down (which I would prefer they didn't) then just the one chick in Manitoba and two distant cousins banded in SK.  Quiet year in one way, but not in others!   Crazy thing is that if Ella and Pip had successfully hatched/raised all four of their eggs on the nestledge, I'd might well of not had ANY chicks to hatch in Manitoba!

Oh, wow.
Any eggs .
Wonder where Pip and Ella are

Haven't been on the roof since we ID'd them but given that Gertrude is only just a year (404 days old as of today) so too young to breed under most circumstances.  Looking at the her, she is still very brown so still young AND we don't see them at the nestbox, they are always perching elsewhere on the building - and for hours - no taking off to hunt and bring food home - and there is lots of food that gets blown off the building - with chicks, prey doesn't last long enough to get blown off.  Based on all these observations, I'm comfortable saying they aren't nesting. 

They both have favourite spots - have only once seen them together which I thought could be a good sign for next year when she is old enough to nest. 

I will be checking the box sometime soon, does mean going out on the roof and I really don't want to disturb them before I have to.  Would be nice to see this site occupied again and I don't know how these two will respond to someone going out on "their" roof.  So playing it by ear and hopefully I can visit when one or both of them are off causing chaos somewhere.

I've got photos from the banding on my phone - but the cloud is being difficult about letting me access them.
I should have them today - got an expert looking into it for me!!

Managed to get a new password. I hadn't had to login since the beginning till suddenly, my access disappeared.
Love all your posts.

Ah Moka, if that happens again, do let me know!
I can see if anything might be amiss but also set you up with a temporary password.
Glad you made it back though!
