Sorry, Leana, I missed your question -- this would have been between about 8:15 and 9:15, thereabouts. Still a good stiff breeze, but starting to cool off a bit, just perfect! Well, obviously it was just perfect for flying!

Wish I'd known you were going... I would have met you there!

What time was this at?  I think I'm going to go watch them either tomorrow or Saturday.

I've never seen such a flying display -- to see the two boys swooping through the sky, around and about first the Manitoba Hydro Building, then City Place, then Radisson, only to do it all over again! Sigh . . . I think I'll dream about flying tonight!  :D

It was unbelievably beautiful. It's hard to believe that they are already such agile flyers!

Now if only the wind would blow that smelly old carcass out of the nestbox.  It must stink to high heaven with the heat we've had the last few days.  Guess it pays to not have nostrils!  haha

Yes, and apparently loving it!  I guess they use it to their advantage, and are getting good at dopping in to get lift.  Lots of gliding and coaring.  What a treat to see. ;D

Were they up in that horrible wind Liz?

All 5. It must have been a awesome sight.
