That Froona is one lovely bird. She reminds me of Luck (my golden girl) in the sun.
Thanks for those bev. and the update.
bccs:
Thanks Bev, great update. It's funny as all get out when the kids get cheeky and start to push around the parents. Vesper is just like that, she makes me laugh. Poor Trey!

We had a very quiet night at the site last night. We had one kid in sight on the Med science building and Froona on theEd building.
We went up to the Ed parkade and saw one falcon in the distance and then it flew off and then there were 2 flying around and possibly chashing pigeons.
So we now have 4 in sight.
Then Mr. Red flies over to the Ed building from the south. (possibly from the Med science building)
Both he and Froona look out the north west so I think they see what we see way out.
Mom flies in on an aerial of the Ed building and Mr. Red flies around and knocks her off. He is cheeky LOL .We did get the bands .
Then mom flies off and Mr. red and possibly another(from who knows where) flies off to the south. Froona stays put for a bit and then she flies off
Peter and I decide to walk a bit and run into Carol and Bob. They had spotted 2 as they were coming to the Ed building. Probably the ones we saw.
After having a cold drink Lisa joined us and we crossed the street and walked back to the corner.
{Peter decided to walk around to the front of the hospital where the cranes are. )
Bob and Carol leftto go home. (sorry Bob and CArol but we then did spot all 5.)
Lisa and I met up with Peter and the 3 kids and one adult (mom ) were on the cranes.
We could ID FRoona and mom.
WE walked down by the clinical science building and Mr . Red flew to the ledge of the Campus tower facing west(Peter got his band number). then in came Mr. Yellow(We know because Froona and mom are still on cranes). Dad lands on top corner of Campus Tower and then turns in for the night.
Peter and Lisa and I check out whee Dad sleeps and there he is.
so when we left, the boys wereon the ledge and Froona and mom are still on the cranes at 10:00pm, dn Dad is asleep on his ledge.
It was a nice evening , all in all
I think Mr. Yellow is honing his hunting skills with one of the adulst and FRoona and Mr. Red, who are close together in skills, are waiting their turn. Just my thought.
Slideshow.
some pictures are not great but just want to show you where everyone is. Froona and Mr. Red are very dark and Mr. Yellow is a bit lighter.
