Dennis and I had a "late lunch" (that's code for taking a meal break where we can watch birds) and Ivy and Princess were "at it" (you can guess that that is code for) out at the Crow's Nest where Jules liked/likes to hang out this year.  Its technically in the Radisson territory, but its close to a location with lots of pigeons and since we don't have any shorebirds and few ducks hanging about, its KD Time for the adults!

And yes, Dennis has photos, lots of photos.  :o

Just was watching the two of them soaring high high over the Radisson....Such a beautiful site to see
and just left heading west.....Perhaps they were yaking at the cleaning people..Telling them to get lost.

For the folks downtown, the Radisson is having its windows cleaned at the moment, so if you seen someone hanging on a rope, don't worry, its not Eye-Spy or Dennis  ;) ;D

They should be done by the end of the week I believe which will mean nice clean windows for Radisson guests to enjoy our fair ciy and the messy eating habits of the penthouse guests.

last week seen a bald eagle flying along red river in st andrews, made me think that the falcons would be back soon, so happy to know that there has already been a sighting! I agree, lets send out a collective "nest on the west" vibe, I can not wait for the web cam and all of its insightfull images!
Thank you TPC and all of your talented and savy helpers for sharing this with us each and every year!

Yup, pretty quiet day.  Saw a bird on the Hydro sign on and off, but that's about it.

No sign of birdies at all today. The ice block in front of the roof door is almost melted enought to squeeze out and chop the rest of it away.

Spent the better part of 2 afternoons topside, and had a couple visitors.  First one verrrry quiet.  Did however try to crap on me a couple times, but just stayed on the tower and watched, and not a peep.   Yesterday, 1 visit, noisey brat with a great big yap......

Not sure who the first was, but the second was surely the old hag herself.   ;)

...don't listen to him, TPC, you're not an old hag... ;)
