Thanks for the photos RCF.  Keep up the good work.  I saw the four on the tower.  It is so nice to see them.

LOL! Good one, rcf. Kind of like "Where's Waldo?" Took me awhile, but I eventually did spot all 4 of them. :)

Yes (at least, I think so), but definitely not easy -- love the photo!

Can you find all four falcons on the tower?

After work today I could only see Hurricane, so I went to the parkade to see if anybody else was around.  When I got there I could hear Hurricane alarm calling.  I could see a man on the roof of the building that is beside the communications tower building. Hurricane was kakking and dive bombing him and all the pigeons scattered everywhere.  Brooklyn showed up to help and then a third peregrine showed up, maybe three or four minutes later there was was a fourth peregrine. So the whole family was together.  I think Rain and Rosser wanted to play because I saw one squawking a lot, chasing Dad around and touching talons with him.  Eventually the man left and everyone settled on the tower. ;D

This morning before work I watched one of the boys knock Hurricane off her perch on the Scotia building, then she perched on the northwest corner of the McK bldg and got knocked off there too.  ::)  She flew off and the two boys stayed on the roof.  Rosser is on the left. I can read his band number in another pic I took.

The camera is really just the icing on the cake, you guys are pretty good cake bakers! Thanks for all your hard work and exciting descriptions of the action.

...Its unlikely that we will be able to get it back up and operating again before the cam is scheduled to go "dark" on Monday, so downside is we don't get hope that Rain & Rosser will come by for a visit.  Upside is, first "real" problem we have had with this cam and its in the last few days of the seaons.  Could have been much worse!
No complaints from me, TPC. Just wondered if others were having difficulties or if it was my computer. It sure could have been much worse and that makes it all the more wonderful that we have Rose & rcf's reports. :-*

We managed to figure out where the problem is with the Brandon cam.  Appears the modem is having problems talking to the internet connection.  It's thought that there may be something interfering with the signal or power rather than the equipment which appears from remote checks to be fine.

Not surprising, on wednesday am the rain was coming horizontal and in 10mins.water was running down the streets up over the curbs and in some parts of the city there were power outages.Thank goodness it only lasted 20mins, or the city might have been washed away. lots of Businesses and homes were flooded and some are still drying out.

Thanks for letting us know what the problem is, TPC -- and, as RCF pointed out a couple of days ago, we all survived the last couple of years when there wasn't a cam at all in Brandon. With RCF and Rose there, we'll count on them to be our eyes!  :D
