I can hear squacking, but nothing to see.  Boy, it sure is windy again today!

I guess they all flew the coop this morning.
I don't hear any squawking or screeching...just mechanical sounds.
Great for the falcons (if they are all safe)...sad for us.
But like someone said...We have foster chicks...and hopefully it will be soon that we can watch them for a few weeks.

all quiet on the Minnesota front - not to get too sentimental but we won't see this much more and although I want them to go and be falcons, I'll miss them - they've been a pleasure to watch since hatching and a very big consolation since the loss of the chicks at the Radisson (that I may never get over.. :(

looks very peaceful now...

It is sad for our loss .... but ....we have foster children!!! ;D

you see all the traffic traveling in the picture ....... do you ever wonder if anyone them are as nuts as us? 

I drive or walk down portage and automaticly look up at the raddison hotel.

right now two of the kids are sitting there looking out ... are people looking bad at them?

I think Bullet has been back in fact I think that's him hugging the wall at the very edge of the nest box, if you watch closely you can see feathers moving a bit because of the light breeze there.
