Good for you! I looked about, but without binocs, there wasn't much I could see at any distance.

Saw three chicks and a parent at the nest site at dusk tonight.  I don't usually post about the site, but it was great to see definitely three chicks there! 
That is great, des! :D

There are always two or three peregrines in or near their nest area in the half hour around sunset- at least on the usually 4 times a week I go to check.  I've never checked in the rainy weather!

About 11 am  today I saw 2 very wet chicks on the east side of the diner ;D

Dennis spotted all three there this morning but I didn't manage to get there before # 3 took off ... I suspect s/he took off for a more sheltered location, though I'm not sure where, couldn't find Jules, Beau or the third chick ... Dennis didn't have his camera, but I did  :D

I am shocked..........!

Hard to believe I know, but that is how it was.  Actually, he was the smart cookie, it was raining and blowing, I had a sweatshirt on (didn't think to wear a rain jacket in my rush to get out there) and I had on a toque - yes a toque on August 15th - darn near froze my eardrums anyway.  Smart Dennis without his camera sat in his van and stayed dry, me, I'm braced against a wet vehicle to counter the wind, holding my hand like an umbrella over the lens of my camera, rain dribbling down the back of my sweatshirt and the wind blowing across the back of my wet neck.  Even if he had had his camera, not sure he would have admitted it me ...  ;)

Most have not even rolled out of bed yet...lol
An early morning visit finds Jules at the nest site...with one chick and Beau at the diner. The chick was having breakfast and feathers flying like snow flakes.
Some new photos of Beau have been added.
