August 5.
Becky and Cave had texted Peter and told him they had seen Radisson and Blue on back of Education building.
We were at WEber building putting up posters and checking things out.
then we went to Clinical science and spent a few hours.
At first no one was in sight. We walked all over. so we had a bite to eat.
when we came out, Blue was on back of Newton apartments and across form her, on a set of Red and cream aprtments, at the back ,was Red.(will have to find name of those).
Blue then flew off and circled around Red, and then flew off in direction of Heart building. I went walking and then I saw the both of them playing in the air over the heart building. Up to this point ,they were both so quiet. but they were vocal as they played. What a sight to see. Peter was having problems with the camera so did not get shots of this. they were in rare form and then flew off west.
We walked and looked and then went up to our parking lot and in flew dad. He perched on back south corner of College plaza. After a bi the flew around back and we later saw him tucked in for the night.
In flew Red, cacking up a storm. He flew in where dad had been, and then flew around and we left him perched on an aerial on north side of COllege plaza. He had flown around where dad was sleeping for night , making a lot of noise. We wee sure it was hm by his sound but then got band.
WE saw a falcon land on cranes further out but not sure who, as it was dark
On our way home the sun was glorious. a few shots of that as well
On Friday night BEcky and Dave saw our two youngsters on their way to football game. We will go done sometime today.

Finally a report. august 4, 2010
Our falcons ,at Clinical Science, are doing well. I want to thank-you for all your kind words. We could not do this with out the support of other volunteers, like Becky and Dave, and Elaine and Carol and Bob and Barb and Lisa, and Rosemarie, and the list goes on. This can only continue ,as Long as we have support.
On August 4, Peter and I went down ,but the camera was out of juice . We did see our family of 4 though. Blue female was on the extension buidlding and then along came dad . She knocked him off and then flew to the back south side of Newton apartments. Dad proceeded to defeather some prey, and eat on the extension buidlding. Blue must have been full ,as she did not argue.
We walked around and found Radisson , on vents of chi-ching building(building across from EArls) . this was a favorite spot of hers last year. We found Red male ,on a tower adjacent to Eduction parking lot. He was there for a bit and tried to stoop a few pigeons and then flew off the south. when we walked back, Radisson was in same spot , Blue was still in her spot and DAd had moved to the moon ,on suite hotels.
Kinderchick:
