"We continue to go to Weber as well as U of a but Yellow has stayed at U of a. A juvenile was heard on cam at Weber on august22, but no one has seen him there. Does not mean that he does not visit there but he had remained at U of A.

That RAdisson and Chase accepted him at such a late date is even more amazing. Radisson does not accept anyone after a few days. Gord is stumped also. We know juveniles will wander but he eats here, he sleeps here, and RAdisson has accepted him. It is one for the books. WE were worried for a bit. And so we monitored very closely."

Bev - thanks for sharing this experience you had with Yellow. I found it very interesting - along with all of your detailed posts, photos and videos. :)

You have so many wonderful memories to cherish. ♥

What a smart boy!

Good genes in his background. ;)

When, yellow first appeared at U of A. We all joked that he was going to Grandma and Grandpa's for meals. But, he gave new life to what we thought was the end of the fledge watch. Spetember 19th and all 3 kids are still here.

A remarkable story of yellow being accepted.
I love the stories you tell us from your experience of watching Radisson and her nest site.
Thanks, Bev!

new video

Here is a video from Aug  30 of the 3 juveniles, first few pictures were of white , then yellow on pillar below box with prey, then green on pillar above box, then green flying, green on pillar with yellow but yellow not sharing, then flying of white and green, yellow flying with prey( he lands on helicopter pad) , 2 juveniles on ed building, after Radisson had prey drop, I think there were 3 juveniles there at one time, and then one flying in, I think white, but not sure and one eating on top of CP at end( that is white). At nights end we saw all 3 kids tucked in and one adult on an aerial on south CP . chase was in 3rd fromend photo

Last night we  only saw green and white. Photos not uploaded yet, but we thought we heard a juvenile over east .  We could not tell for sure how many we had tucked in. A light was shining n a window on south side so it blinded us. We know one for sure one south side and 2 on north side.
Barb saw all 3 on Thursday night. We will go again on Sunday. Jean saw all 3 on Wed and we saw all 3 on Tues.

I guess for me, I am just thrilled that green and white are still so close.  Last night they were perched by each other and did some playing in the air. But I am just as thrilled that yellow was accepted and although it seems for the  most part , he is still a bit of a loner,( comes from being by himself for over 3 weeks) he still flies with the other 2 and all 3 still give chase after the adults. Radisson accepted him fully and he flew with Chase also. He has shown what a skilled flier he is and that he can hold his won  as far as retrieving prey from  adults.
