West Winnipeg - 2018 / Ty & Ella

Are there any updates available for this site? Any more sightings of Fidler (love the name)?

Last observation I have confirmed for Fidler is that he was spotted along the river near Assinibine Park - an eagle eyed birder with a pair of binocs was able to read his band number.  I hope he does well, he had a damp start to life and it would be nice to see him survive!

Hope our birds find places to cool down as Environment Canada is predicting a high of 38°C today, though I think the wind will be helpful. Yesterday, some areas in Manitoba broke heat records.

Didn’t see anyone anywhere yesterday but have seen a couple today lounging at the Radisson and at West Winnipeg.  Pip I think at Radisson and I’m not sure who at West Winnipeg they were tucked down too much to be sure.

It seems so strange for all the sites to be so quiet this year.

Nice to see that Fidler appears well!

Thank you for finding him, Dennis.

Since Fidler (AKA Stanley) had not been seen on camera for some time you begin to wonder...soon found him perched at the "Crows Nest" and he appears to be doing just fine.

LOVE IT!

"Fidler" on the roof! Appropriately named. Cameras will let you/us know when he took to the skies again....."Sunrise" or "Sunset?"

I hope Fidler is staying safe, wherever he may choose to venture.

Great update! Fidler is a very nice name for our lone chick.

Fidler's first fledge was on Wednesday in the morning from what we could see on camera.  By the end of the day he'd been grounded but was safe and under the watchful eye of some security personal (thanks to Mary & Team!).  After a check by Lisa at PWRC he was found to be uninjured and had the ok to be re-released.  Back up the next morning and he glared at us balefully until we left the roof and closed the door behind us then he skipped off to the nest box to look for some food.  Ella did the honours a short while later and he was off again roaming around the roof top.  Thursday night and Friday night he roosted on the roof wall overnight and we believe we saw him making short flights but can't be positive.  Saturday he definitely was flying and we had a couple of independent reports (including Dupre's) over the weekend and I saw him come back to the roof just before the Rain hit and he (like other chicks) did a rain dance before coming to weather the storm not in or under the box but nearby.  He was still preening there about 7pm.

I believe we have a fledge at this location.
