So as I wait patiently for somebirdy to appear on screen, maybe someone can answer a few questions for this rookie...
Does the forum stay open for awhile, people to post if they have seen the family in flight?
When do the peregrines usually leave the area?
When do they come back?
 
ANd if anyone has any other "need to know" info, that would be very much appreciated. :D

I left Fyfe's parkade at about 8:40 this evening, no aerial display of falcons, in fact two were sitting on the roof of what I think used to be the old Eaton's warehouse.  That was all I saw of them.
I always think it's great just to be able to see them!  I miss Princess sitting on the J at the Richardson bldg -- I have a perfect view at work but this year and last, I've only seen her a few times.   :(

They seem to start coming back after 9:30 if I remember correctly.

I left work just after 6:00 and just as I was crossing Carlton 2 peregrines came screaming overhead and I thought might have landed on the Air Canada Building but I lost sight of them.
I know exactly what you mean.  They move so fast, and when they dip sideways, they disappear!  I was videoing (is that even a word?!) them last night, but I lost them so many times.

I wonder if we'll see any birds come back to the nestbox before too long. :-\

Free parking on the street after 5:30 right?  Maybe that's why.
