Rosser may want to go across the street to the communications tower where Mom and Dad hang out. For the past two years that's where all the other chicks liked to hang out after they fledged.  :)

So Rose it sounds like Rosser will have to go to the annex first before he can get back to the rooftop. Is that correct? Rain is not going to happy with him not around. I hope it doesn't encourage him to try and fledge earlier than he should.
If he decides to go back to the roof, it would be straight up but really not that far in actual feet(The ledge is about the same level as the floor on the other side of the wall) but I get the feeling he really wants the wide open spaces but like a teenager he'll do what he wants to do and not listen to anybody. :)

Hijacked the cam to look around on the foof but couldn't see our second "R".  There are lots of spots I can see with the cam on the roof (by the skylights, corners, below the cam, etc) but I thought I would check out the buildings nearby just in case.  Can't see very far but couldn't see anyone but a whole bunch of pigeons sleeping on the backside of the building on the NE corner of Rosser & 9th so those of us on this side of the camera will just have to wait until he reappears either here or nearby ...
He,s safe and sound and hiding from you. He is on the black decorative ledge that is along the front and extends just around the corners.He is on the north west side and can only be seen looking from the west. :)

Thank you so much for checking that out Rose!!  *applause*

Clever way of making us think he has fledged ... though to get off there he probably will have to take the big leap ...  
THe annex to the north is only the width of the loading dock away and at the most 3 stories below, really not a big jump. In 2009 the male and the big female fledged from the nest box with ease and flew to the annex. The twins fledged on to the roof wall and then straight to the annex and a few days later all were flying as high as the McK. tower roof, One of them tried to land on the ball of the old lightning rod didn't make it but even the adults never tackle  that. :)

I'm assuming from the fluff on the Brandon kid's head that this is Rain - the light is too flat and its tough to tell if the band has yellow or is silver .... light coloured tape not so visible on the camera but much more visible from the ground ...

Are we doing funny things on the roof again again? The nest box is empty and maybe you could show everyone where the door is but maybe you've lost Rosser :)

When I move the camera quickly over long distancesit is very visually disturbing for lots of viewers so we don't broadcast it to the webcam.  The only static image I have at Brandon is the nestbox - unlike at the Radisson where I have three other static images to choose from.

As for the door, we can't see it with the camera, it's below and the camera can't turn that direction.  As for looking at it, it isn't any more appealing to the peregrines than anything else on the roof - and besides, everytime that door opens the parents go ballistic so the kids don't trust it much (which is a good thing).

Do you mean "lost" as in "has Rosser fledge"?  Couldn't tell you but he's old enough ... as stated in my last post, we'll keep watching on the roof and I'll hijack the cam from time to time to check out the nearby buildings if he doesn't reappear ...
