I'm happy you were able to spot all four chicks RCF. Thank you for the updates and beautiful photos. :)

I see there are several nearby sitting areas where the falcons can pose for you, and these chicks were most accommodating!

Thanks for the pics and update, RCF. I was thinking about the McKenzie Seeds chicks today and hoping they are all well.

All four chicks seem to be doing well here. I don't always see all four at once but on the Tuesday July 28th I saw all four kids flying in and around the McKenzie and Scotia buildings playing chase and tag. They are always lots of fun to watch.  8)  ;D

Armstrong was the first to fledge, then Ellington, followed by Ella and then Nina was the last to fledge. The one male chick likes to hang out on an aerial on the west side of the Annex building. For the last few days I have seen the other three perching on the north and east window sills on the Scotia building.

This is from a block west of the McKenzie building. Hurricane is perched in her favorite spot on the communications tower. One of the boys likes to perch on an aerial on the annex building.

Any news on the Brandon chicks?  Have any fledged yet?

 The two males have fledged and are flying very well. We watched them playing tag with each other yesterday morning. We saw all four this morning in the rain, two on each of the lower roof pillars.  These are some pics from the last few days.

Last report from RCF on the Birdcams Around the World forum was some photos on July 8th that showed the chicks on one of the walls but no news directly from RCF or on the BCAW forum if the chicks have fledged yet.

Also haven't heard from any of the folks at Conservation or any of the rehab organizations so hopefully, knock on wood, none of the chicks has fledged and crashed in the interim.

If I hear anything, I will be sure to post.
