Fantastic photos from Martin You can see the chick's tongue sticking out in the 1st pic.

Folks I was at the Jericho nest for quite a while yesterday and -- unbelievable as it seems -- the older little guy thinks s/he is going to fly soon!! People kept stopping and talking to me, you will notice the constant change in voices in the video. I hope in his/her exuberance there is no accident! I mean less than one month ago they were little gray things, they can't possibly be ready to fly just yet??

Keta , Great work, and loved your videos, Where is this nest located in the banks?? it looks like it's just off one of the beach's parking lots??

this nest is located at Jericho Park, between Aberthau and the Jericho Youth Hostel, above Marine Dr.
Even the Province newspaper included mistook the location for Spanish Banks.

In other news, I have a new video from today on the Spanish Bank, not sure where to put it!! :dunno:



Board veterans will remember my videos of bald eagles, juvenile and adult, frolicking on the tidal flat. This is such a video, but its not at a nest site so I can't find on this board where it should go!


In the meantime, here is the link

Today after FledgeFest, the idea of having a get together at one of the Parks near the Lafarge Nest came up!! David is quite keen on the idea and even thought that if we were lucky and got a nice crowd together we just might persuade the media to drop by. It would be wonderful to acknowledge Lafarge for their work with this nest and supplying the Cameras for us.


There isn't time to plan anything fancy beyond meeting at one of the parks and 'winging' it. (so to speak). If everyone brought themselves a bit of a snack we could have a picnic. We are thinking of Monday July 12 which should be pretty close to her fledge day.

So check your calendars and put an X on the 12th. Let's see if we can make something happen to honour this beautiful Tenas Chakchak we have had the joy of watching.

If you are at all interested Please let me know double-quick. Post your response and comments HERE!

and now....

Hi Folks,

I said I would pass along this info to the "local ground observers" for Terry as she is wiped after the wonderful day at Fedgefest! Thanks for all your hard work Terry and Alan! (Mr Terrytvgal)!!

If you are at all interested in a possible "Lafargefest", please respond ASAP by posting HERE!!

And as Terry said !


cheers,
