Actually, that was brought up as we stood on the street corner - a few were already talking about a get-together for the 'After 5' crowd!!  :P

in part so CBC and Shaw can have their traffic cam back ...

I don't know what the traffic cam means? 

TV and radio stations use webcams located all around the City to monitor the traffic flow during the rush hours - morning and evening.  They can manipulate the camera to look at different locations.  During the peregrine season, I use the camera as well to spy on the peregrines at the Radisson.  Sometimes we are each tugging on the camera - they want to see the Provencher Bridge, I want to see the letter R on the Radisson sign!!

CTV news contacted me  yesterday for an update on the peregrines and whether or not they will renest.  I told them no, it was too late barring a freak event.  Also gave them an update on the other 4 Manitoba females and the Brandon Birds.  Also told them about the meeting of the "Phanatics on Portage" today - so you could all have ended upon the news tonight!!  'Fraid that didn't happen, but they are running a short piece with photos from Black Friday.

It will be on TV at 6:10 pm (approximately) on CTV Local News @ 6.  It is also already posted on their website at CTV Winnipeg.  I assume the online piece is the same as the tv piece will be ...

Sounds like you all had a nice visit. 

If you ever decide to do this again after work I will make it for that get together.

Maybe next time we will get to see P & T.

Thanks for the update of the visit.

It was really great seeing where the nest ledge and box were sited - in the few times that I drive downtown, I've had to watch traffic instead of looking up (unlike this morning while driving down a country road I was going full speed ahead while looking waaay up at a pair of pelicans - good thing I had the road to myself). Thanks for the info Tracy. It was enjoyable meeting you and some of the phanatics. And you didn't hear from me earlier cause I had to race out and cut the grass!

My only complaint is that P&T were 'No Shows' -  :(.   

I thought I saw one of the birds on the east-side Radisson sign as we were heading back to our cars, Pam went up  to her office and checked and there was one, Princess she thinks!!  So only Pam and Team Kensington got to see the birds today  :P

I'm going to see about getting the spy-cam back online, in part so I can spy on the birds again, in part so CBC and Shaw can have their traffic cam back ... we'll be able to see how long they continue to hang around this year ... and I'll be able to snap photos of them for you all !
