I have a better picture of egg now and the male came with a bite and then left and then Radisson left.
She was just sitting above egg which is good.

This egg was taken by Beth  from BCAW and then one of Radisson
I will post more in nest frame.
Egg looks better now

Great news that there is an egg and hopefully more on the way.  ;D  Radisson is back in there with her egg, and looking pleased. The egg is very unusual looking with that big white oval on it.

Is it an egg with a bit of down on it?  Exciting anyway!

I have been watchng for the last half hour . It started with them male coming in  the box and then
when he left RAdisson is looking all over again. I do not know what is up and do not know if I can make it down again.   maybe nothing. Maybe the male is flying around but I cannot figure out what she is yelling at below.
 
I got all my pictures mixed up but I will make a slide show the best I can I really look all over  when I ma there so I know what she would be yelling at but I am stumped here.

He has a  black band on his left leg I believe. I guess it depends how you are looking at him. One band is silver an done is black. He is the resident male. I just want to make sure it is still him. He has been here for awhile and was born in Edmonton.
Band is O/Y
Thanks Bev.  I will try to get a better look the next time that he is around.  Nice to know that he was born in Edmonton.  :)
