U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson

[Liz]

Am I imagining it?  I've never seen her facing backwards over the eggs, always sideways.  I think she's hearing something and chatting to them!  Anyone else seeing something new? 

[Liz]

I noticed that some times it goes back to the last time I looked at it -- could flash back a coupel of hours.. but then goes back to the current pic. 
Doesn't Radisson look like she's talking to the eggs?

maggieblue, one of the eggs has had a white circle on it from day one.  Did you see part of that, or a hole/pip? 

Thanks Tracy.  I do not think the images I get on my computer are right from Edmonton.  I seem to see the same things almost everytime I look. And yet at work it works and refreshes.  So maybe the picture I saw was a moment they were off the eggs and it froze on my computer.
I am so happy all is well.

Just by size, I think it must be Damon.

Is that Damon?  Looks kinda small, but it may be the angle.

Damon, I'd say too, Liz, as Radisson seems at least half the length of the nest box.  Right now in cam 2 view, it looks like a slightly lighter head though, so maybe it is Radisson with a deceiving angled view, or maybe there has been a shift change?   

[Liz]

cool!

It wasn't the egg with the rather exotic oval on it. It certainly looked like a small pip.

All looks fine to me, can't see any eggs in the open, the bird looks smallish but I'm not the expert on Radisson & Damon, so I'll defer to Bev's opinion when she comes back to town ...

[Moonstar]

I just checked the Edmonton camera.  Not sure which parent is in the nest but they are not on the eggs.  They are against the wall of the nest box and the eggs are in the open.  Not sure if it is a concern or not.  I am concerned about it.  Hope everything is okay there.

[maggieblue]

Now Radisson is off the eggs.  One of the eggs has a white spot on it.  The bits of something that I could see before are just to the left of it.  I hope that the chicks don't hatch until Bev is back after all of the work that she has put into this.

[maggieblue]

Has anyone been watching Radisson in Edmonton this afternoon?  She (I think it is her) has her back to the camera and there is something just to the left of her up top. Maybe debris or maybe eggshell.  I haven't seen the eggs at all today.
O.K. I think that was a false alarm. She has turned sideways.

[Liz]

I hope you get to see the hatches, bev. 

I guess we're all having the same weather, across the Prairie Provinces -- all still waiting for spring to come, let alone it might feel like summer.  I'm still wearing my leather coat to work, and glad for it with the wind we've been getting!  AB, SK, MB and prob to Thunder Bay, spring has not sprung!  (hits self upside-head: weather thread! oops)

Well , my last post till I get back ,unless I remember the password
Very cold tonihgt and tomorrow as well. We are expecting rain here for the  next 3 days.
It snowed in Red Deer and Calgary so I am hoping it does not come to Edmonton. I will not be here but the rids will. Not  good  weather for hatching but she has the box.
i hope you all see the hatches.
 I am hoping she waits for me to get home but I do not think that is going to happen.
