you did a great job!  I should tell you I have biofocals so my vision - not exactly the best  ::)  

I know when I look up and see my peregrine pair here they look big but if I try to take a photo with not so great old camera, they end up looking like dots so I'm anxious for TPC to go out and have a look!  I'm so happy there are so many 'eyes' keeping watch for them  ;)

So hard to tell.  When you zoom in on it, you can see they are quite long but other than that hard to tell.  One looks like it's laying on it's belly to me, the one on the 'O'. 

i thought the second bird was on the green part right at the end .. under the N ... but really hard to tell.  i took the pic then kept zoomin in on my computer.  next time i'll leave work and see if i can get a better picture closer.

Okey, dokey, here's the image for everyone to see.  The question is - is it? or isn't it? or them or whatever.   Bird One on the top of the second "S", Bird Two on the green slash under the "N".



or check out the image in Photo Gallery

Now you all get to be me for awhile   ;D

thanks Ms D, got your photo ... and yes, the quality sucks ... sorry.

From the image, the birds look too small to be peregrines I'm afraid.  BUT keep in mind Ms D that you could see the birds so you can see more in the image than I can.  And with the poor light and the fog and the colour of the birds and the wall and the distance and all those things, I can't be sure that I'm just not able to see enough of the birds in your photo to confirm anything I'm afraid.

So I'm afraid we just need to keep an eye on the Hotel.  I have attached links to the photo gallery that show the birds from a bit more distance on the sign (pretty much same locations) - might help with scale when you are on the ground downtown.

Radisson - 2008 - April 3
Radisson - 2008 - April 14

Sorry folks, but we will just have to keep waiting & watching to get a confirmation of the birds' return.  But BIG APPLAUSE to Ms D for taking & sending the photo so fast!!!

now too bad i can't figure out how to put a picture in.  i took a picture of the radisson sign and it's not great quality ... but you can see the two birds.
