U of Alberta - 2010 / ? & Radisson
bev.:
well tonight was very exciting. :) :)
I do not know if I will get pictures done tonight but I will write my report. It may be long.
As usual we start out ,up at the parkade, but tonight we stayed there.
Anyone watching will have seen the ravens go to the nest box. The reason being as there was another Pair of ravens that entered the territory and there was a raven fight.
But I think George and Louise were victorious. what a racket and we had ring side seats. The ravens stayed by us most of the night and we watched them preen each other and play kissy face. They are quite remarkable to watch.
Then they took off west of campus tower.
Now my poor hubby is freezing because he did not listen to his dear wife, to dress warm. when the sun starts going down and the wind picks up, it is cold. ::) ::)
About 8pm , we got the treat we have been waiting for.
In flies one falcon, no make that two :-* :-*
They circled the clinical science building and then the male went on the same perch as last night , on Campus tower. Yes, that was the male last night. Peter said it was, but it looked so dark because of the light. Well his nice white breast showed tonight . And the female roosted on the south east jut of the clinical science. What a site to behold. but not a sound. They were so comfortable together . I do not want to go out on a limb and say this is Radisson and Damon until we have bands. What the heck, I am almost positive it is them. :) :)

Hi carly,
One of my friends is going to try and check the transmitter information today. she will be in the office. Our resident expert is out in the field. but she feels they should be on their way home
Hi bcbird,
when I took the pictures ,I thought ,too much brown but then I checked back on last season and saw that sometimes the lighting makes things appear ,what they are not. So we will have to wait until they come to the box. Peter and I will keep checking at site.
carly:
Thank you Bev and Mr Bev ! I hope all the Edmonton falcons show up soon! Has Miss Edmonton started her journey back yet?
bcbird:
Wow, thanks for posting this evening, Bev.
I know you said the lighting makes things tricky, but do you think it could be one of the juvies of last year?
