Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
bccs:
Air quality check, well not really. Just spent a wonderful 3 or 4 hours with allikat in the parking lot.
Beautiful day, not too hot, magnificent blue sky, a bit of a breeze and great company. We sat in lawn chairs facing the Radisson ( north west ) I had spotted one falcon just before allikat rolled up, but for the next 20 minutes or so, nothing. Finally Allikiat decides to turn her chair around and face south and what does she see? A boy sitting on top of the post office bldg!! Wonder how long he was there till she spotted him? He had his back to us for a while, we discussed who we thought it could be, and finally decided is was Tupper. So allikat yells out " hello Tupper ". Darned it the little guy didn't turn around and look at us. I swear guys, that did happen. After a bit he flew off the P/O, took a swing over us, and flew to the west/north side of the Radisson.
Watching and watching and see something different.
Dennis drives up!!. You all have to know that if Dennis is around, you'll see some birdies.And sure enough, that's what happened.
First though, I introduce allikat to Dennis. Not as bad as the TPC phone call, but pretty darn close. ;D ;D. Bob took it in great stride, shook hands with her, shook hands with me and said hello Pam. I said hello Bob, we all had a good laugh.
Dennis can spot those birds sooooo well. By the time he left, we had managed to account for all the family. The kids are hanging out on different buildings from their parents, so spotting them is a bit of a challange. But not for our Dennis - the guy is a wizzard. :-*
The best moment for me, watching Trey with food in his talons, Vesper following behind and below Trey. Trey drops the food and our girl grabs it in mid-air. Wow-oh-wow-oh-wow. ;D
Uncle Bob had to get going. He did a swing around the hotel, saw one adult on the tower and one in the nest box. Cell phones :)
Allikat and I watched for another hour or so and then decided that we were both hungry and thirsty. So off we go to - you guessed it - Boston Pizza. Had a few drinks, some tasty food, a billion laughs, toasted our out of towners by name ( lorianne, pchemist,bc bird,bev, marie, carly and eagle. And then one final toast to those who we overlooked.)
A mighty fine day thanks alli, Dennis and our falcon family. (psst alli, next time I pay :-*)
bev.:
