6am to 6pm july18,2-11


Today was day 44 for our oldest which meant all the kids were at least 43 days old.


It was a day of many emotions.

When I got up at 5am ad saw the e storm and skies in St. Albert , i got ready as quick as i could and headed out. Had to check the kids.

It was pouring rain and only one in view. then one flew around top of clincial science and I knew it was YB. That is where he stayed during storm.  I saw GG on right ledge of lower roof of nest building.  and then on careful looking around  I found RG on lower roof of Maz(heart building). but no BB. This means RG had taken a second flight.   I checked all around the grounds in area. Got a bit wet  ::) ::)

around 9am(3hours later)up pops BB. Radisson brought a food drop for RG on Maz. then she came back with a small bit for BB. BB boy got some bites , when GG popped up from pillar and stole it.

BB had enough of this and poof, he flew over and half way around front of Maz, with yellow guiding him, and then back and up on jut of clinical science. After a few minutes, he decided , the food was on Maz , so back he went and once again YB guided him and he dropped on lower roof of Maz, YB flew back to jut of Clinical science.
 We are finding it very interesting that YB is taking on duties. It is as if he has been appointed babysitter. amazing to watch. I learn so much more every season.

Now we only had GG to fly.
 
BEtween 11am and noon  dad came over to YB and off they went. He was giving YB his first soaring lesson. It was amazing to watch and we had an audience behind us watching in awe as Dad guided YB. I took a lot of photos and these I will get posted tomorrow. Just so little time.   YB is a natural. I t just fills my heart  :-* every time I watch this.

I forgot to say that if you look at cam 1, that is the roof she flew to. It is a little further than it seems. She was probably on cam

She is at corner of that roof right now by nest box.

all the  others are cuddled together  on ledge under nest box ,on nest box roof. so they can see each other. So cool :-* :-*

Thanks for adding this update at the end of your long day out.
How great that Miss Red had success.
Hope your sunburn doesn't interfere with a well deserved night's rest.
