My husband just commented that there will likely be lots of smoking of "you know what" in Fyfe's back alley tomorrow evening, before, during and after the concert. :o Sure hope Fyfe decides to move onward and upward before then!

Note to fledge watchers... The Britney Spears concert is at the MTS Centre tomorrow night so it's going to be CRAZY downtown!  And loud... sure hope our fledglings like Britney...LOL  ;D
Oh no! I hadn't remembered that! Yikes! :o Maybe I will reconsider going downtown tomorrow evening. ::) It seems to me that when Loki fledged to the same back alley rooftop this time last year, there was also some big rock & roll concert going on at the MTS Centre.

Last year first fledge was on the 4th and the evening of the 4th there was a huge concert there as well (can't remember who) and we thought that would be a great way to get Loki off their roof.  Either he was ready to go before it happened or he didn't like the sound check, because he was almost back on the Radisson nest ledge by the time the concert wrapped up.

Maybe Brittany will get Fyfe off and flying (if he hasn't done so by then) and encourage Carson to come home to the ledge where he can watch the crazy hoomans from a safe distance with his sibs.

Just returned home from a belated Father's Day bar-b-que at our son & daughter-in-law's place. Saw our new grandson too! ;D On our way home, I managed to convince my husband to swing by the location where I had last seen Fyfe this afternoon. We drove down the back alley between the parkade and the roof that Fyfe had spent the day on and as of 9:00 PM, he was still there, perched on the corner of the lower roof. We only stayed a few minutes and he seemed to be still trying to figure out what to do. He was walking around a little bit, looking up and down. But I really don't know if a food drop had been made yet. I told my husband that his getting to see Fyfe up so close, was a belated Father's Day present. ;)

Checked on Fife around 7:30 tonight.  Still in the same location.  He'd flown up to the top of the air conditioner(?) on thr roof section he was on.  Not far away - a metre or 2, then up a metre or so.  He was back where he was on the roof earlier by the time I made a phone call.  He looked fine.  At that point looked like the 2 chicks were in/by the nesr box. Princess was above the nest in her communications tower and Ivy was???  Only stayed about 20 minutes.

Sitting on the nest edge:  one sleek, fine-looking male Peregrine and one fine-looking female Peregrine ;)

Don't worry, Sweetcheeks, you'll be sleek one day too :)

::) this has been a phrantic day. 12 hours, more or less on my computer. Making dinner in between. Although it is nothing compared to what the PFRP and all the fledgewatchers have been doing all day. Giving all your time and efforts to ensure that our fledglings are fine. Thank you so very much. :-*

Love it! must add phrantic to our peregrine dictionnary :-*

Thanks for all the updates! 

Hope all is well with Fyfe and Carson!  Bea and Cade are the dynamic duo left to make that daring dash!

Good luck to our feathered friends!

Beatrix is lying in the shade at the front of the box in case folks are wondering where she is.  Cade is on the concrete beside the nestbox napping.  Sometimes the shadows make it tough to see them ...

Hey!  There are two boys and a girl home.  Who returned?

I think one is Ivy, you can only see his back and tail in the nest box. :)

Thanks, RCF
Ivy! of course, fooled by size, and hoped it might be Carson come home.

Checked all the cams and hijacked the skycam - just two chicks at the nestsite - Beatrix and I'm assuming Cade as I haven't been able to see his band color.  No one else is around at the moment.  She's being a pain sitting right where Cade wants/needs to jump to to get back in the nestbox ...  ::)

LOL, TPC

I decided to take a break and check my emails. One from Dennis shows two incredible photos of Fyfe during the rain today. You have done it again, Dennis. You just know when to snap your camera at just the perfect time.  :-* :-* Can it get much better? Silly question!
