3 talons raised for all the watchers. No one knows how tough it is pounding the pavement, being careful of traffic, and all the other hazards, including weather
and hot sun. And street people.

You all are awesome.  Wish I could be there in person too.  But reading your updates is as good as it gets.  They are very detailed and exceedingly funny!

Thanks to the ground crew for running all over the downtown.  It has to be hot and thirsty work.

Okay gang, this is when the fun startd for me.  I take bccs' cell phone and start chatting with Tracy.  Once I heard her voice on the other end, all that was going through my head was, OMG, I'm talking to The Peregrine Chick, and she's talking to me...Oh wait..she asked me something.  Oh my, BOT allikat, BOT, think here, come on you can do this, just talk.  All I heard was, blah blah blah coming out of my mouth and thinking, I'm talking to Tracy on the phone right now, this is her voice on the phone.  Oh, she's telling me important information here, concentrate you fool.  But OMG, it's Tracy, and I'm talking with her, this is real.  I'm really not sure if I actually composed myself or not, but I hope I did not sound like a babelling fool.  It was so surreal. 

Okay, I'm going to need to get a stunt double now because there is now way in heck that I am ever :o going to be able to live up to that ...
(just kidding Allikat  ;) )

Thanks Gramma, people are going to haul me out of work in a straitjacket if I keep up the chuckling & giggling.  :P - Mental pic of Sami running around the MTC Centre, and your 'far ther' comment had me in stitches - excellent recap!!!  ;D

Great Report Gramma!  Sounds like another productive day in Vesper land as she loves the attention.  Hope Sami gets some company to try and keep up with Vesper.  Glad to know that she is stretching her wings.
keep up the great work watchers....!!  See ya'll down there this evening!

Wow, gramma, you and Sami have had quite a morning/early afternoon! It's so good to read such detailed updates. Pam, with her magic eye almost in the sky, has saved the day more than once! I haven't met Sami yet, but she's sure given it her all over the past few days -- three cheers for you, Sami!

Just got home.  Left Sami running around the MTS Centre.  I hope that someone joins her this pm so that the poor girl can at least get a bathroom break.  Walked downtown over the Norwood bridge so had a good view of the  sky-line.  Watched two falcons circling from the library  over the Fort Garry Hotel.  Think it was Trey and one of the boys.  Met up with msdolittle and Sami at the corner of Smith and Graham.  They had lost sight of Vesper.  Sami and I headed to Portage...nothing...headed west on the north side and spotted a falcon on the east ledge of the MTS centre.  Couldn't tell who it was until we got to the parking lot beside Holy Trinity Church where we could move far ther east.(Tried to write far ther as one word and the censor told me I had to use the word flatulence). Junior and dad kept circling and making tons of noise.  After 45 minutes of relaxation our little missy decided to stretch.  Pam and falconadi arrived on their lunch hour.  Missy stretched her wings and waddled along the ledge (better than flying).  Sat for awhile...flapped her wings again and flew north then circled back over the MTS centre.  As she had very little height we quickly lost her.  Ran to Portage and around the MTS ..no luck.  Pam went back to work, spotted Vesper on the MTS roof.  She was hopping and waddling around without a care in the world. Checked th north side of Portage.  Saw and heard Trey and one of the boys cicling north of Portage.  Sad to say that they won't be around much longer. :'(  The boys have a lot of height...a little more flapping than dad but they look good.  Pam kept sending Sami updates....I had to leave poor Sami  still trying to find Vesper.  Hope she tires of hide and seek soon.

Vesper will probably be as "bossy" at feeding time with her chicks as Princess has been with Trey.  lol

......soon she will be joining her brothers in their games.

If she stays true to form, she'll be beating them at their games -- that girl has a whole lot of attitude!

My thanks, as well, to the fledge watchers for all the updates. The descriptions are great ...... the NEXT best thing to being there, Bccs. The humour just makes my day. LOL MsD, talk about heart attack! Also Dennis, thanks for the fabulous pics of Vesper and TPC. She is a squaker?!?! Vesper, I mean! :o  ;D ;D

Glad Vesper is getting some practise in.......soon she will be joining her brothers in their games.
