I went to Brandon today and took some photos of Hurricane and Brooklyn doing a nest exchange when they were feeding the chicks.  :-*

There seems to be an impression from a couple of posts here that a webcam in Brandon is imminent ... that isn't precisely correct.

We have been working on finding a new partner for over a year now, but haven't been successful thus far.   As we have lost the Radisson nest, it would be especially nice to be able to get the McKenzie Seeds site back and running now, and that is what we are working on.  CBC has lots of other things they could be doing with the resources they are providing for the FalconCam but they are just as fond of the peregrines as we are so they are giving us time to see what we can pull off.

Sorry to be a kill-joy, I know how much everyone would very much like to watch one of our peregrine families, I just don't want folks to get their hopes too high.  Be hopeful, we are, just don't go crazy.  If we get a cam going, they go as crazy as you like :)

Very happy news. Hope to see everything on a cam. CBC, do you hear this phanatic?

Wonderful news! Here's hoping that the cam works out. I think I recall TPC telling us that CBC is willing, but that there is another party's involvement that is necessary. Fingers and talons crossed!

Yes, CBC has been great since we lost the Radisson nest.  They agreed to let the cams stay live while we work on getting a new feed if we can.
Fortunately, Princess and Smiley have been very active, and entertaining at the nest box for the last little while.

 8)    It is wonderful news!!!
 
We were there today just when they were doing a nest exchange.  Brooklyn went in the box and Hurricane perched on one of the posts of the communications tower where she preened for a bit. We then saw her eating on the northeast corner of the McKenzie building, maybe preparing lunch. We used to be able to go up to parkade but you have to pay now, so only free on the weekend and after 6 p.m. That is the best place to see in the nest box....Saturday is coming though!!   ;D

Wonderful news as of today - Hurricane and Brooklyn once again have 3 chicks!  Three is obviously their magic number.

And no news yet about an internet connection ... have been trying to get the two possibilities to say yea or nay so we can let CBC know.
I'll be contacting both organizations again on Monday and perhaps we will have news more then.
