U of Alberta - 2010 / ? & Radisson
bev.:
Peter and I went down to site today preparing for fledge Watch. Can you believe that it will start in a week.
Yes these guys have been self feeding for a few days now. Radisson likes to start them early.
I wanted to share with you that we have a new male. I am not sure when the switch came. I am usually more on top of it, but with monitoring Genesse for the biologists I missed it. We noticed at banding that there were no gull feathers(Damons preference)
and of course I have been monitoring Weber to pinpoint hatch date there.
Actually Pete and I have been asking people on one site I belong to to watch the pair for awhile now. We thought something was different but we thought it was the ravens. We do know that Damon was here at the beginning of season. Another biologist confirmed the bands.
We have lost a number one male, who will never be replaces. They called him super male.
Between Columbus and here ,my heart is in my thraot , but I do not have time to worry , because we have to get these guys through fledging.
the both adults were at site today when we were there. The male was on south back part of Weber and Femlae was on the top above nest box.
Peter will download the camera in a bit. We did not take too many as we were watching . The male and female were soaring wonderfully west of clinical science fro a bit, but they were just a short flight from nest box. and I was watching so what could go wrong ;D ;D ;D
tahsk for picutres peaches.

They seem to have this figured out just fine.
Hazard of eating birds that don't come plastic-wrapped :)

This is probably old news ( i didn't have access to a pc for 2 days ) but i just saw a food delivery and the chicks fed themselves. A milestone :)
Kinderchick:
Wow! Just look at those dark feathers coming in already! :o
