I like the photo of Sol and Hurricane - Ty is like that with his mates, he sits/hangs out closer to them than our other males.

Thanks for clarifying this view for me, dupre. I do remember and so miss this area. Also miss the live cam in Brandon. Will you and RCF be present at banding time?

Nope! It's all in the angle.  ;D

I'm on the ground and the pigeons are on the small wall of the area where the second nestbox is (below the nest box where they hatch, but so that TPC and company don't have climb the ladder again after banding the chicks). You've seen the area in TPC's photos from previous years where the chicks run around and flap their wings.

Hey RCF, where do you observe/photograph the nest box?  Are  you still able to get to the parkade roof?

Hey Birdlover, How's It going?  :)

I take photos from a block away near were the buses are on 8th Street. The parkade charges for parking now Mon to Fri until six pm, so I don't go there often. I have a better view from 8th Street or even from 7th Street.
:o You get those pics from the street?

Oh, it's going well. How about you?

Here is a rare occurrence and I was surprised to see Hurricane on the perch bar. She was only on it briefly...maybe seconds.  I think they liked it better when the perch bar was attached to the top boards and not underneath it. It was moved when the new nest box was installed.
