I love the photo of Nero - #0162! Looks as if he's doing the "Hokey Pokey", with his left foot out! ;D

Sorry folks...my mistake !
The last photo in the West Winnipeg Fledge Watch was in fact was a Swainson Hawk Chick. Trying to do 3 things at once doesn't always work and I didn't check the photos till well after I returned home this evening.
I could go into a long story but won't !!
 
Cheers !
Dennis

After a busy day doing things other than birding...I had a look at WW to find.
6:40-Nero feeding inside the nest box, not sure what it was...smaller than a crow (and no black feathers) larger than a sparrow ! Appears to be a whole bird  ???
6:50- A sister shows up and perches on the lower camera.
6:54-Sister catches some ZZZZZ's
After 20 min Nero is still eating...and sister is still watching  >:(
7:03-Sister is into to the nest box looking for left overs  :)
Nero leaves the meal and it appears to be Annie that has come for left-overs  :-\
7:21-Annie drags the remains up out of the nest box and leaves it on the ledge  ???
With the shadows and low light it's even hard to see the color bands ( yellow/silver)...if I'm wrong TPC will correct me !
Just my observations this evening !

Cheers !

1600 hrs (local) - two of the chicks have been asleep in the nestbox for the last hour - keeping out of the sun.  One of the adults dropped by and was sitting on the roof of the box then jumped down to take a drink from a puddle on the roof a bit beside the nestbox.  First time I've seen any of our birds do that at this site ... with the rain we've had, that shallow puddle comes and goes ...

One of the chicks was hanging out in front of the box cam after the rain ... funnily enough, no one in the box during the rain, just one after the rain.

Interestingly, Annie was the one hanging out by herself yesterday on camera ...

July 31 report from WWW:

I must have just missed bccs, dennis & eye spy!!

When I visited the site today the only bird I spotted was the ledge wanderer (Nero?) off all alone, farthest from where the others like to hang out.  I guess that sometimes a bird just needs a little alone time.   

I didn't see any one else closer to the camera and perch, and there was no one flying around so I think it may have been afternoon nap time.  They would be smart to be in the shade, the temp is currently 28, humidex is 33, definately a hot day!   

Nice breeze here today but not too windy. 

I think you're right about Nero, www, he seems to hang out by himself at the end of the ledges a lot.
Sorry I/we missed you yesterday. If it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, like it did today, I'll be out just because I like the birdies. ;D    Usually 9-12 or there abouts.

Beautiful shots as always Dennis!  I especially love that last one!  Great to see such a successful season for our Jules and her new Beau!
