U of Alberta - 2010 / ? & Radisson

[peaches123]

Wondering if the chicks will be named ? I probably missed posts on this.

[bev.]

they appear to be doing well, but i am a bit concerned about number of feeds.
this male is 6 years old so he should know a thing or 2.

Thank you, Bev, for keeping us updated on this nest.  The chicks don't look affected much by a change in one of the parents.  How big and handsome they are becoming.

supposed to  be hot today so I do not think they will be very active

Looks like they are all tucked in for the night.

just liked this shot

Peer and d were down last nigh to see what we can see about this male.

He flew in onto College Plaza and stayed for about an hour. when Radisson flew of Heart building he flew Right over to heart building. Radisson came right back. When we left after 10pm they were both still on heart building. Damon always turned in earlier but maybe this male will spend nigh ton Heart.

We will learn more about him at Fledge. I will post a few shots this evening when they are downloaded.



a few shots from their morning. they are getting darker by the minute. I will post a show of feed in a bit  also
Growing darker by the minute

We are starting Sunday morning.

They do not look ready ,but it is day37 on Sunday and I do not want to take any chances. I think our male is the middle to be born, but a lot can happen between now and Sunday.

Some places have had early f ledges.

An adult is around there flying . And they want their food.

I knew this day would come this week. but we want to protect them, do we not.

the red band is our male . From what I see I think he is the youngest. the other 2 are females.

Oh dear! They're looking far too adventurous!

[peaches123]

I swear i think they grew an inch or two from the time bev posted her pics til these pics a half hour later
