Sure do hope RCF & Rose are okay. 

Heard from RCF and she is high enough that she doesn't have any problems at the moment. 
Rose too is in a higher part of town as I recall so should be okay as well.

Holy smokes! :o The flooding out that way is really bad. Good thing you were able to get out to band the Brandon chicks before the flooding disaster, TPC. Sure do hope RCF & Rose are okay.

Great photos Dennis.  Not very happy looking chicks but very cute.  :)

TPC was interviewed on CBC radio early Sunday morning, burdi. If I recall, she mentioned that the Brandon chicks were placed back in their wall nest box this year, rather than in the roof top nest box.
Actually, we put the chicks back on the roof box not the wall box...  

Sorry to relay the incorrect info, burdi & TPC. Goes to show how well I listen to the radio while laying in bed. Only half awake, I guess. :-[

Not a problem Kinderchick, you clearly said “If I recall”, so your attempt to answer was very much appreciated. :)

No worries KC, it is just as likely that I wasn't particularly clear  :-\

Sure do miss the live cam here, and with so much rain I am thinking more about these chicks. Just wondering if they were placed back in the nest after banding, or, are they on the roof now?

Thank you for explaining the Brandon chicks were moved to the roof box TPC. I know you care very much about our birds, and trust you will always attempt to do what is best for them. :)

Beautiful photos Dennis! The expressions on these birds clearly tell their thoughts, also I really admire the brown feathers coming in on the chicks (especially image 0029-1), which is simply gorgeous!

Actually, we put the chicks back on the roof box not the wall box.  They were only 24 days old at the time but were much further advanced than any of our other chicks at the same age (check out Dennis' photos when he posts them) and we were a bit concerned about putting them back in the wall box given the iffy weather and doing it on the ladder.  We were considering putting them in the roof box anyway, this just made the decision easier and safer.  Despite how close most of our nests are in age, I have no doubt the McKenzie Seeds chicks will fledge first, not only first, but earlier, just as they have done over the last few years.

Thank you Kinderchick. :)
I would have liked to hear the interview with TPC.
