U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson
bev.:
So I am done and feel relieved to have this done. I had so many pictures.
I split it up so as not to bore you too much.
remember these all from the ground and even with a great camera, when they are way up , they are way up ::) ::)
So I believe there are about 7 or 8 shows altogether
bev.:
And finally Radissons last days before migration.
when we came back at the end of September we knew the kids would be gone. We must have just missed Damon leaving.
this ,for me , is always a sad time because we never know what the next year will hold.

The next 3 slideshows are up to Peter left mid -September.
These bring back so many memories. In one show I show all 3 kids on ledge tucking in for the night. Red and Froona were on the same ledge. I remember that because she came in so fast that I thought she would crash. Red looked astonished. those 2 were buds.
I think white and yellow would have been buds. Yellow was the one who left first and he was sighted in an area west of Edmonton where a lot gather before migration :) :)
We always knew when Froona was around as she was so vocal. and Red always tried to knock the adults from their perches .

The next is a series of 4 slideshows showing the kids in action. I always tried to find all 3.
I had to leave suddenly mid august so Peter was left with the task of tracking them.
so when he came to pick me up on Vancouver Island mid September we had no one to watch.
but Froona was still there when he left Sept14.
the first 2 slideshows

The next 2 slideshows are the start of fledging and Froona after her first night night out.
Poor Froona. She had such a strong flight at 9:30pm and the next day a maintenance worker scared her off the heart building intentionally because he thought a helicopter could come in. I did not report him and thankfully she was strong and eventually did well the day after.
what a beauty she is.
