McKenzie Seeds - 2009 / Zeus & Hurricane

[Pchemist]

Pchemist, are you serious about coming to the Brandon Banding?! Don't know you well enough yet to tell if you're kidding!  That would be a hoot! Would LOVE to meet yet another Phanatic! 

you'll all have to wait on that one for me.  not only do I need to be in my office next week, but I need to get my passport renewed (oooops!).  Can't go ANYWHERE right now (well, except all over the U.S. and its territories, I suppose...)

I do plan on joining in if we have a massive gathering though in 2011.  or even 2010 if we do that.

Huh, I guess my old binos are still good after all !!  Must have been my ol' eyes that weren't workin'.     Unfortunately, the binos are not really powerful and could not get close enough to get a really good look.

TPC, YOU GOTTA GET ME CLOSER TO THAT NEST!!!    I'm dying to know how things are in there.  I promise I won't tell anyone and I will be a good spotter for the rest of the phanatics!!    

I was downtown for about an hour and there was not a lot going on.  I was hoping to get at least a glimpse of a feeding, but no such luck.

One parent in the nest box and the other nowhere in sight.  I did catch a glimpse of one little white head for less than a minute but that is all.  Will let you know when I get over there again what is happening.

And yes, BirdLover, I did tell the Kinderchicklets about the falcon chicks on top of the McKenzie Seeds Bldg. in Brandon. Too bad there's no camera there yet.

[Kinderchick]

Whooo Hoooo!!! Thanks, bccs! I also have a car, but thought it would be SO much more fun to go with you guys!  I'll chip in for the gas, as well!

[bccs]

As soon as TPC has a date set for the Brandon banding, I might be interested in a cuddly little spot in your car, bccs, if the offer is still available. All depends if school's out when the banding occurs. Sure does sound like it would be very interesting, to see up close and personal, not to mention, a whole lot of crazy fun!   As an aside, the Kinderchicklets were planting beans at school today and the beans were from McKenzie Seeds!   How about that? Everything in the universe connects, somehow!            

you're in kinderchick !!

Did ya tell 'em about the Peregrines nesting on the MacKenzie Seeds building?

[BirdLover]

TPC you are too nice, TOO NICE!  That is a great thing for you to do.  I would like to know whether the SK birds were successful too.

That would be wonderful TPC...Thank you for this!!!   

No worries, will let you know what I hear ...

[The Peregrine Chick]

I miss everything....I will miss the banding of the Brandon chicks as well as the all important fledging of our very own P & T's chicks. 
I will be watching via webcam but I won't be there as I am moving to Regina.  I wanted to take holidays during the time of our chicks fledging as I wanted to be there....keep watch, be on guard with other phanatics.  However, I won't be.  But I'll get to watch and read all about it, thanks to all the devoted phanatics 

I don't think so...I know that they had falcons in Saskatoon at one point but don't know about that now..would have to ask TPC.
Funny thing though, when I went there a couple of weeks ago to check things out, I was checking to see if there was the potential to have nesting falcons.  There are quite a few high rises there, close to water and lots of green space.  Ya never know...maybe, just maybe!!!!

Regina had one if not two of our (Manitoba) birds, they haven't had birds nesting for the last few years, but who knows, maybe one of the Radisson chicks will "follow" you west ... don't have to go as far as Radisson and could land in Regina .... And yes, Saskatoon has had peregrines nesting, the most recently last year - Donna, a female from Brandon and a grand or great-grand-kid of the original Radisson pair and a cousin of Trey.  She laid 6 eggs last year but haven't heard how she did .... will check.  I could put you in touch with the folks out there if you like ... and I'll see if she came back, if so, you might have fledglings of your own to watch over ....

Depending on the day and the number who want to go out to Brandon, I can take my car, too. I can take 3 - 3 in the back would be a little tight for that distance, unless all 3 were very thin.
