I swear that they hide somewhere, watching, until people leave the Education parkade. Sounds like you and Dave had fun, Becky. We haven't been there since Sunday evening and won't be there until tomorrow evening. (Going to meal assembly tonight since it's become obvious that no one will be dropping off food to us!). Hope to see you and Dave there sometime ... eyes to the skies.
bev.:
Great that you saw all the kids tonight Becky and Dave.
they are such a 3-some. It fills my heart every time I see them.
Peter and I will be down there tomorrow night.
that Mr. Yellow. and I thought he was the gentleman ;D ;D
Becky M:
Dave and I went to the campus for about 2.5 hours tonight, leaving at 9 (which Im sure was too early and lots happened after we left, but alas). When we arrived, we could not find anyone around education or on the cranes. So we left the education parkade, at which time one bird promptly flew on top of education ;)
We looked around the corner by the hospital parkade, but could not find anyone on college plaza or Newton Place, so headed back to Education area. Once there, we saw 2 kids hanging out up there, one on the corner, one on an aerial. Another trip up the parkade, and still only the 2 in sight, until a couple minutes later in flies a third falcon, which promptly knocks off our aerial friend, but instead of roosting up there, flew over to knock the corner friend off as well, landing there! At this point, the original aerial friend knocked off the newcomer, while the corner friend flew over to Medical Sciences. Newcomer ended up in the vent, where we quite clearly saw that it was Mr. Yellow! So, it is not only Red who is an instigator :D Med-Sci bird came back, and with all 3 visible, was obvious that was Froona. Lots of squaking from her and yellow during this time, Red was actually fairly quiet. About 3 mins later, Yellow took off from the vent, and then he flew over to Medical Sciences. Red and Froona were sitting nicely for about 20 minutes when we left. Only saw one adult transiently, given the whiteness, I think it was dad, but did not see a food drop and he did not stir up a commotion when he rested on the shorter Ed. building. Im sure we have all said it a thousand times, but wow - they are such beautiful birds...with attitude! I love it :)
Alison:
Thank you for the updates and the photos, Bev! It's so good to know that you have been seeing all three juvies and both parents. Froona is a beauty, as they all are.
