U of Alberta - 2017 / Chase & Radisson
soaring west:
This is the week that we will go into hatch mode for Radisson. As per Bev it is later on this week.
We have a rainbow of eggs.
bev.:
so we have RAdisson and Chase back
and we have 4 eggs . hatch expected JUne2 -4th
they used the box this year but we were wondering as they spent a lot of time at spot form last year. It may have helped that a goose is in one of the boxes
best picture I could get showing all 4 clearly was when chase came in

do we think he is glad to leave :egg6:

jean texted us that a falcon was back at U of A and we are pretty sure it is Radisson. we will be trying to scope her over next few days. It is early fo r her but I thought someone may turn up this weekend
here are Jeans photos and when we see the one of raven, cowering in corner after being chased, no doubt in mind it is RAdisson I have to put in jeans comments. I knwo she will not mind
first saw it on top of CS, and it very considerately did a graceful loop and landed on the camera, confirming that it was, indeed, a peregrine. I went across to the parkade but, as you know, the weather is very grey and gloomy, and I'm horribly out of practice when it comes to tracking a flying peregrine. The neighbourhood raven arrived and expressed its dismay and suddenly it was cowering in the corner of the parkade, about 10 m away from me, and the peregrine was doing spectacular low-level flying in front of my face. Did I capture anything? - not a thing, but it was brilliant!!

Thank you for your recent updates and videos, Bev.
I wish you and Soaring West another great year of peregrine watching in Alberta and I hope that Chase and Radisson will return again!
bev.:
i will post a few late slideshows and videos of our kids form last year. It will get you in the mood
it certainly brought tears to my eyes

one always manages to steal my heart and when I found my precious on a stump after her first flight my heart almost stopped
