July 2 (so far)

Someone flew up to the ledge and then immediately turned around and flew off - looked like a chick but couldn't tell who.  Didn't stay for 5 seconds.  That was at 0345h.

Next visit was the same at 0452h and same deal, might have been McDermot but still not enough light to even see if it had a backpack or antennae, but the size looked like McDermot.

At 0636h, Hart turned up for a minute or two before taking off again.

All were at the ledgecam end of the ledge, nothing at the nestbox or further down the ledge.  And no one spent the night.  All quiet since Hart left

Was there a PF on the nest ledge, down beside the right hand corner of the nestbox around 1630h today, TPC? I was returning from some Canada Day celebrations and drove down Portage Ave. past the Radisson at that time. I was pretty sure I saw a bird there. :-\

Its entirely possible - the ledgecam has difficulty seeing that far and the box cam may not have been zoomed out enough to see it.  McDermot is the likely candidate as he has been around pretty much all day.

Checked the recorder and McDermot has been spending alot of time at the nestsite today

Was there overnight with Jubilee; Fleet and Hart turned up around 0306 and they were gone by 0545 when Jubilee made a trip down the ledge; McDermot and Jubilee left together at 0835h from the box; he came back at 1230h and he hung out by the ledge-cam and left around 1430h.  He returned 1930h and left almost immediately, then someone flew by and he was back again at 1934h and is now tucking into a teal on the ledge.

;D 8)Happy Canada Day Everyone 8) ;D

Some day, I'll learn how to do this ::)

Happy Canada Day Everyone!

I was so nice to see two of the kids on the nestbox last night, especially knowing that one of them was Jubilee!  Nobody there now and can't hear any squawking now- maybe we'll see someone once it cools off this evening :)

2235h

There are two birds on the front box edge right now.  The second bird turned up on the ledge beside the box and was noticeably larger, and yes, before anyone asks, it is Jubilee.  She landed on the ledge sometime around 2130h then hopped into the nestbox and I could see her tape.  She spent some time nibbling on something before she joined McDermot on the box edge.
So today, we have had all the kids turning up and hanging out on the ledge/box for extended periods of time - first Fleet and Hart, then McDermot joined by Jubilee.

Jubilee Home   :-*

She went after that bug that was by the nest box like she didn't eat for a few days.

2235h

There are two birds on the front box edge right now.  Checked the recorder and one of them made me a wee bit suspicious.  So went through the recorder and one is McDermot, his antennae is easy to see even in the dark.  He has been around since 2014h napping upright and lying down in his favourite spot next to the nestbox before moving to the box edge.  The second bird turned up on the ledge beside the box and was noticeably larger, and yes, before anyone asks, it is Jubilee.  She landed on the ledge sometime around 2130h then hopped into the nestbox and I could see her tape.  She spent some time nibbling on something before she joined McDermot on the box edge.

So today, we have had all the kids turning up and hanging out on the ledge/box for extended periods of time - first Fleet and Hart, then McDermot joined by Jubilee.
That is awesome to hear that she was home for a bit yesterday and stayed there all night.
