MayShowers, it would be nice for some of us to get together (depending in time) next time you're in Winnpeg. 
Yes, there are a few of us who would be more that happy to meet with you and show you around, next time you are in town, MayShowers. Sorry we missed you. But so glad you had the opportunnity to stay at the Radisson and see the Radisson nestbox in person. 8)

No worries TPC, I understand.  Thanks for the great information!  I'll be looking for them before I leave tomorrow.

MayShowers, did you get to see anybirdies while you were here?  I would think it would've been a thrill to stay at their hotel! ;D

Did you stay there on purpose ie. because of the boids? ;)

Out on the balcony today and saw a peregrine riding the wind near the river.  He or she did not appear to be in a hunting mode, more of a " lets stretch my wings and have a play"
I saw him/her about 20 minutes later - definitely looking for a meal. ;D

 8) for you.  ;)
It certainly was rcf.

Beautiful weather in Brandon but raining in Winnipeg - poor Ivy looks a little wet for wear as the wind was pushing the rain in under the roof at the Radisson.  Not making the gravel wet, just the poor bird velcroed on his eggs.

Hey MayShowers,
you can pm me  and I'll give you a quick tour tomorrow am. No meetings scheduled, so I can get away for a bit if you like. :-\
I work right across the street from the Radisson, I might even be able to get you on my roof  ;D ;D

We're sitting in our room and my husband saw something fly by.  Then we saw feathers floating down, so must be supper time for someone!

I'm in Winnipeg staying at the Radisson  :) Although I couldn't tell you which way is west I am thrilled to be at the same hotel as Princess & Ivy ;D

...west is towards the Manitoba Hydro building, and east is towards the Richardson Building/Portage and Main...hope that helps...

Jadoo - when you get out of the elevator, there is a whole wall of windows - that is south.  Standing at that window, the nestbox will be to your right and around the corner on the west side of the building. 


...Thanks, TPC!  Though, I'm hoping you were meaning to reply to May Showers, since I work in the Hydro Building   ;D

1036h
Princess was on the box edge talking to Ivy but he just kept sitting on the eggs.  She might have been saying, "stay here dear, I'll take care of the hoomans on strings" ... he just turned around and shuggled the eggs back under him so he can be hidden but still watch the goings on outside the box ...
