Bogart is such an appropriate name.  After all, one of Bogie's best roles was Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon ("The stuff that dreams are made of")...

Very interesting piece of trivia, Dagny. It IS an appropriate name! 8) Hope he continues to do well.

Fly high, little star! :D

And he's a little toughie, little darling kept trying to eat my fingers during banding, or at least when we started banding, he is smart and figured out what we were doing didn't hurt so he just glared at us after awhile!!


this was as we were getting started ...

Great catch RCF -right place at the right as usual!!

I know you were busy watching Bogart but could you tell me what time (approximately) he fledge so I can add it to the record.

Holefully the weather plays fair this weekend for Bogart's next flights and Spencer's and Kelly's first flights. Looking forward to your next installments in the "stars" adventures! And the photos too  ;)

And if a problem should arise (knock on wood you it doesn't) call me on my pager and I can help out with any necessary arrangements at my end - downside of weekends is that most "help" works Monday to Friday.

I checked on the birdies this evening and the little male (Bogart) is flying very well.  He flew up to the west light where Brooklyn was....twice, maybe he was trying to knock him off of it.   ;D   He did quite a bit of flying back and forth over to the Scotia building and back, then finally landed on the McKenzie roof.  I left around 9pm and he was perched at the bottom of the clock tower.  I guess he likes this spot.





The sky was looking pretty cool as darkness was falling.

TPC, the CBC cam page advises that the chicks' names are Spencer, Bogart and Guiness :-\

Thanks Susha, I have notified CBC and hopefully they will correct it very soon.  Because we gave folks both male and female names and told them what the gender of the chicks were, I have no qualms choosing the top two male names for the male chicks and the top female name for the female chick - it is what we do every year.  I think perhaps because the folks at CBC are knee-deep in Fringe and other projects, it was an slip of the keyboard ...

1:40pm

I watched the little male fly off the north wall today. He circled to the east, over the annex building then over 9th Street between the mts tower and McKenzie bldg.  He landed on the ledge at the bottom of the clock tower......a full circle gaining height.  I have no idea if this was his first flight, but first time I have seen him fly.  He sat up there and preened.  ;D

Chicks spent the morning out of sight under the old hackbox but it looks like they have come out to play on the north wall (in the east corner) - seems to be one of their favourite spots this year ...
