Great shots, Dennis! Would love to have been there......was considering it..... but the in-laws came for their annual visit. Last time we were through Brandon (June 13th) I walked around the McKenzie bldg but didn't even spot the nest. Now I know to go to the parkade for a good view of it. I did see meal remains in the back lane and I checked out the Double Decker. Maybe next year I'll make it for banding.

Is that the brood patch. I have not seen the picutres but I know our male had that also and I thought injury in a fight also. But I do think it is the brood patch. TPC???

Can hardly wait till I can view your pictures. I can see some that are small but I cannot click to get them bigger
from the small pictures i see that spot is in a different place than our males so not brood patch :-[ :-[

Zeus didn't have this patch last year. Perhaps TPC or Dan might have an idea ? I'm wondering if it's not from an encounter/fight with something ?

Thanks, Dennis, the Brandon photos are action packed, and it's great to see the perched shots too.
Why does Zeus have that dark patch on his chest?  Has it always been there?

Some what surprised that mention of TPC new hardware hasn't been posted...I have a couple of photos that won't be posted till the end of the gallery ????
Kinderchick...what say you ?? 

Aaaaah, yes.  Kinderchick and the 'chicklets have awarded me with my very own, shiny red "La Shovelle" and a lovely "chick" headband for when I use it.  Where's Bccs, I'm sure I can find something of hers to christen my new Sandbox Toys ...  :D
Hmmmmm, sounds like a dare :P   Wait for it TPC, and you're going to have to dig in a different spot  ;D ;D ;D
