The Annex building is red brick building with white between the stories to the right side of the main McKenzie building. It has five stories.  Sorry, I could only put a link in here, I tried the other option and it wouldn't work.

Here's the image you were trying for ... TPC



From The Peregrine Chick: If you are looking for photos to link to here they need to be your own or the owner of the photo doesn't prohibit linking to their photo, in this case its a photo from the Brandon Sun story on the sale of the McKenzie Seeds Building.

Before work this morning 6:45 am,  I didn't see any of them.  I stopped at parkade after work and saw one kid lying down at bottom of clock tower and one at west side on light. I also saw one flying way off to the north.

Thanks for that clarification Rose  :-*  Have you been to see the kids today?  I'm home sick today so can't get down there.

Update from Dennis who just passed through Brandon ....

All birds accounted for at the McKenzie Seeds Building ...
adult 1 - on the MTS tower
adult 2 - on top of clock tower
kid 1 - on light on clock tower
kid 2 - at base of clock tower
kid 3 - on annex (lower level) on south side
kid 4 - on annex (lower level) on north side

Think I got all those locations right from his message, I'm sure he'll correct when he's back if I'm way off.  He also has some distance photos that might show something but y'all will have to wait until he returns to find out if any will be posted.
just a note about the annex. It's directly north of Mkc building across the lane and connected by a loading dock and tunnel above the dock. When the kids first fledged the twins (kismet and Karma) hung out there, when we walked by you could see just their heads looking over the ledge. The other two preferred to be higher up at the base of the clock  tower or Scotia bank building.

glad you saw our family BL. Yesterday was calm and warm and a little cloudy.All we saw were falcons soaring to the north near the Discovery Centre, only one soared over us, Hurricane and Zeus must have been with the kids cause no one was anywhere on the MTs mast or McKenzie building. But it really was a beautifull day,perfect for soaring and flying.Tomorrow rcmbf has to go to work,but just at McKenzies so she can take her binos and check early am. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Yep, was just downtown and all is well.  Except that everyone is hanging on for dear life, cuz it is SERIOUSLY windy here   :o

Two kids crouched at the base of the clock tower on the east side.  Hurricane on the light at the top on the south side.  Zeus on the food storage ledge.  Two chicks hanging on talon and beak to the roof of the McK building.

So, they didn't look like they were going to go anywhere soon so I will check on them this evening and hope that the wind has died down.  Maybe get to see some aerobatics  ;)
