She's considering it Liz.  She wants to be sure the falcon won't dive bomb her!!  I told her to get a helmut,lol.

That is so funny!  They sure won't go down to get it in the next few hours, if at all.  Maybe put it in the garbage and put them out of their misery ???

Just after 5pm today there was a falcon, thought to be a chick, on the Air Canada Bldg de-feathering a pigeon.  My daughter, the downtown biz girl, was watching the feathers fly when all of a sudden the falcon dropped the pigeon to the ground quite close to her. She says it looks disgusting, almost every feather plucked, etc. It landed with quite the thud! Anyway just as it dropped another falcon, not sure if it was chick or adult flew over and the two of them looked down at this pigeon for quite a long time.  As of right now at 8:00pm one falcon is still perched on the building and looking down at the pigeon. 

Does Tracy or anyone know if a falcon would fly down to the ground to retrieve its prey?  When will he/she give up and go catch something else?

Thanks Rcf that you still had the cam working at your house.  Lucky us!!!  So nice to see them once more home and safe for the night.  Now we all can sleep and not wonder for one more night. ;D

Aw what a fantastic bonus RapidCity! I was checking in to see if there was a chance, just a chance someone might have posted a pic...but this vid was so great to see, thank you for posting it. I now have CWS! (Camera Withdrawal Syndrome) and if I wasn't so far away from Winnipeg, I'd be there watching the air shows with you folks.

Two chicks showed up on the ledge. I think this one is Cade, the tape on his band looks white.

This is really strange, but for some reason I still have the Winnipeg falcon cam.   :o  I turned it on at 6 o'clock and there it was. I haven't and don't dare turn it off. I'm waiting to see if any of the chicks show up tonight.  I imagine as soon as I shut it off that will be it.  I hope they grace us with their presence, maybe get some video.

Two chicks just showed up on the ledge.  I cannot believe I still have the cam!!

I just lost the cam now, but I got a bit of video.  :)
