I am just numb to read about Fyfe.  I know too well the feeling  o f seeing them hit and then retrieving them. and it make sit no easier. 

so sorry for all of you here

HArd year this year.

...RIP Fyfe!  I hope you know how many people have fallen in love with you and your brothers and sister since your birth.
That is for certain, Suzy! :) So glad you joined in the conversation and made your first post, even under these sad circumstances.

How does that song go?... "Here comes the sun, da da da da!" Well, thank goodness, that rain storm was short lived! :P Nice and bright and sunny over here where I live now. :D

So sorry Dennis, I know how hard it is for you and everyone there.  It's just such a waste, all this work to get to this point and it's over in the blink of an eye.  I know it's life but I don't have to like it.

Thank you for capturing those photos of him, you really captured his essence.

What beautiful, beautiful photographs of our dear, sweet little Fyfe, dennis. It was a priviledge to have spent some time with Fyfe, you, Tracy and several other peregrine falcon fans/fledgewatchers, on the day of his fledging. :-* RIP, dear Fyfe.

Thank you Dennis, as always, you've captured memories for us all.

Just watched the videos of Cade and Beatrix playing in the rain ::) You'd think they didn't have shelter ::)

I had a great time photographing Fyfe from the time he landed on the 3 story building, through an afternoon rain shower and all the wingercising...hearing reports that all was good at 9:00 p.m.
I didn't think I would be picking him up off the ground at the base of the parkade that I watched and photographed him from yesterday  :(
This is the link to the Fyfe Fledge Photos.

Cade and Beatrix are doing rain dances again on the ledge and in the nestbox!!
Sometimes I wonder about their common sense.
Actually they do look like they are having fun right now ...  ;D
Dopey chicks ...

Actually, I think I see Ivy on the MB Hydro sign - not sure how long he has been there.

And mom is still on the tower, where she has been pretty much all day.  Pretty dark and wet from where I'm sitting!

ditto from here in River Heights. Has anyone seen Ivy?
