Great photos of Fleet, Dennis.  He's one good looking bird.   Nice of you two to spend some time together.

Those are absolutely beautiful pictures Dennis.  He is indeed a beauty.  I too love the juvenile brown plumage.  It's cute how he still has white baby fuzz under his wings!

I'm with you, Ballywing!  Beautiful Winnipeg skyline with the silhouette of a bird or two.  Nothing better! :)

Really, is he still there? - It would be great if the kids came back to the nest every night, they used to do that last year, and the year before too - even on the (undesirable) East Ledge they did that.  :D

Rats, I missed it. Nothing there now.

Back again, before the edit even shows up!

I only saw Princess and Ivey this morning just after 10am, they were circling the roof of the Radisson and squawking at somebody. Could have been workers on the roof. Had a look around for the kids, but so windy out there I was not surprised when none of them were in sight. I checked again when I left downtown around 4pm but no one in sight again.
I was there around 1:30.  I had no binocs, but there was somebirdy flying high over the Radisson, did some dipping and soaring - cool to watch.  I was only there for 5 mins, but one landed on a windowsill on the north side and left right away.  I didn't see any fluttering there after that would suggest a food drop, so not sure if it was a parent or a kid that landed - it was that fast.
