Sure wish I could have gone tonight   :(  But it wasn't my day.

At least I am not the ONLY one that misses all the good stuff, Rose  :P

RCMF, thank you so much for the great detailed account.  I will be heading down there after work tomorrow so if you are around, I'll see you there.

I met Rose on the parkade at 5:30 this evening, Zues was perched on the McKenzie Building. There were four falcons on the MTS tower. There was one on very top of tower, think it was the golden girl. Two below,one laying down and would pop up its head now and again. the third one facing north, could only see tail feathers. the other one below these two hiding behind a post. We watched for a while and Zeus soared off the west.  Nobody was  doing much and Rose had to leave, but before she left she says " As soon as I leave something will happen".  Well she didn't get to the bottom of the ramp and a parent flew in with food to MTS tower.  ::)   Parent flew over to rooftop below the nestledge with a juvie hot on his/her heels and another one just behind them. Lots of sqawking (GIMMIE, GIMMIE) & flapping going on. Then one flew to the top of the McKenzie bldg sat for a minute then flew off, circled around bldg and landed where the other two were.  Flying pretty well I'd say  ;D  Then I saw a parent fly off to the south and the other parent joined him/her. They disappeared in the distance. So now I see three juvies on McKenzie bldg,one in the nestbox other two on southeast parapet, not sure where other is. I scan the MTS tower, ya gotta really look cause lots of bars  posts to hide behind. I finally see the fourth juvie, ;D  only when bobbing it's head up and down. so everyone is accounted for YAY  ;D ;D ;D

I think she was the one in the middle of the dish, she was looking pretty gold in the sunlight. We can go down after supper maybe there will be no wind then. Give me a call, will be home the rest of the day

Aw, I was gonna call and see if you wanted to go down there today, but you've already been.

Nice to  know that they are at least moving around.  Did you look on that green ledge again?  My golden girl was still there yesterday afternoon.

Stopped downtown after breakfest,one chick on mts building ledge,2 chicks on the tower,one sitting in the middle of the dish and one up near the top.Zeus was sitting on the tower just to the left of the dish, no sign of Hurricane or the fourth chick.It's getting pretty windy again today, seems like we can't have 2 nice days in a row!
