Great story and great pics rcf - that must've been thrilling to see!  Thanks for sharing.

(View's still freezing, but seems that boys are out of cam range for now anyway.)

Wonderful photos, rcf! Isn't it awesome to watch them play "talon tag"?! ;D 8)
BTW, I have had perfect streaming of the Brandon webcam all afternoon. No freezing.

I went up to the parkade this morning after seeing no chicks on the wall ledges at the McKenzie bldg.  I watched for a while and could only see the parents on the mts tower.  I saw Hurricane fly off the tower and immediately heard some squawking.   :)  I looked to the west and there was a chick standing up on the very top of the Scotia Bank building. I could see yellow tape on his band with binos, it was Rosser doing a bit of flapping. Hurricane landed on the roof where I couldn't see and Rosser followed her.  Maybe five minutes later I heard more squawking, Hurricane and Rosser were flying high above the McK bldg and I watched them play talon tag.  ;D  So, I guess Rosser has officially fledged.  8)   Rain was perched on the southeast wall against the pillar wall while Rosser and Mom were flying around.

Cam keeps freezing - don't know if it's my computer or not. ???
Don't think it's your computer mine is doing the same. I've turned mine off and rebooted didn't seem to help. :)

Isn't it interesting how one sleeps up and one sleeps down?  (I can't tell if the cam's still streaming - they look so still ???)
The camera has been freezing off and on the last 15 mins.or so but the streaming bar underneath keeps on moving. :)

Naptime in the afternoon heat (photo lightened up a bit so you can see both of them).

Lunch is over.  Time for a little brotherly chatting, a little preening.  Maybe some snoozing will follow...

Great photos, Dennis!  The backpack really isn't as small as I thught it would be.

I thought the same thing - was bothered by the size in fact.  But the boys don't seem to be bothered at all and seem to be going about their business as though there are no electronic devices attached to their backs. ;D

 Rains turn. :)

Did he just get left overs, or did he get his own piece?

I love these guys!  Isn't it so polite to not be fighting over their food?!?
