It's 4:40 and there is still on person up on the tower about 1/5th up. No sign of the birds swooping or attacking. And he's not doing the mosquito shoo away.

1600 hrs (Winnipeg) - at least one of the guys is up the tower right now and although Trey and his lady have moved from the JR sign, can't say as I see any sign of them at the Hotel.  No flying around past the camera which would be normal - could just be they are off hunting, it is that time of the day.  They did look pretty calm on the JR sign a few minutes before they disappeared.  I have asked my contact to let me know how it went today and whether they will need to be back again ...

Just had a look out my balcony window from home, no bird or workmen. I'll check periodically and keep you posted.

Thanks Mother Hen - figured you'd enjoy this little adventure since the kids have been hanging out  on the east side of the building so much over the last couple of days  ;)

Hey Gang, perhaps going to have a little fun this afternoon.  There will be some work done on the tower on the roof of the Radisson this afternoon, and maybe again later if they don't get it all done today (hope they get it all done today).  I've spoken with the guys doing the work (they are installing a bit of tech) and they know not to go near the nestbox and to work quietly and quickly on the tower.  When they visited last, Trey watched them suspiciously from the tower, while the female (who is probably Princess  ;)) did a fly-by or two. They understand that we are nearing nesting time for these birds and that we, and now they, want to disturb the birds as little as possible.  They are fans of the birds so they are happy to comply with all our requests and caveats (most of which are for their safety  :D) but I don't know how Trey and his lady are going to respond.  Yesterday, they gave Dennis and I the silent-and-absent treatment, so hopefully they will do the same with these guys.  But maybe they won't.

So, for those of you who can see the building, could you please occasionally look out your windows this afternoon and if you wouldn't mind posting what you see - i.e., birds flying around the tower pummelling some poor workman Or napping on east side sign totally ignoring all and sundry Or otherwise engaged on the JR sign - you get the idea.  I'll be checking the spycam but I can't see above or west ....

Now unfortunately I can't write a note to your bosses so don't put your jobs in peril - don't want to be responsible for you losing your jobs during an economic downturn  :o  - how would you possibly then be able to order a 2009 special edition teeshirts  ;D

But seriously, appreciate the help!

Taking to the streets found both Princess and Trey taking shelter from the cold April winds. A few street shots have been posted here...

Hi
I could not see our little darlings this morning. I did see a fly by on the east side. so maybe Trey was performing for his girl, Princess. I do hope that they will consider the "NEST in the WEST this year". Tracy I do love the way your write about the peregrins. Always makes me laugh. I will of corse continue to watch and let you know when they are Home!

It's 8:01 am and Trey is on the nest ledge on the east side. Looks like he's just working on his tan.
