bccs:
Great big cheer and thank you to the Edmonton gang. Your reports are wonderful; I feel like I'm there with you watching. :-* :-* to everyone.
BirdLover:
Great report bev. Thanks :-* Love to hear that Froona is getting stronger. And those boys sound like they are quite a tax on poor ol' mum.
You have nothing to apologize for!! :o You have done such a terrific job of keeping an eye on the kids and we really appreciate the effort and time that you have dedicated to this. We can be patient about pics. From the descriptions that we have been getting from the ground crew, we can picture what has transpired there. And, it sounds like you truly have had your hands full this year. I'm just glad that my first watch has been uneventful but thrilling nonetheless.
Hope you have a great day.
carly:
Morning Bev!! Thank you for the update. Happy to hear the trio are all doing so well!!
bev.:
good morning everyone
I am slow getting started today and am just heading out.
We were down at the site last night and Becky and Dave showed up as did Barb and a friend.
This to me is the success.The number of people that are watch ing our beloved falcons.
For the last few years it has just been Peter and I :-* :-*
I will write a report of the fledge watch later today and I am going through all the pictures :) :)
It was wonderful last night. We had a great display put on by the the 3 kids. Frona is getting to be such a strong flier. Of course , I love watching them but my heart skips a few beats every once in awhile when they swoop down or come close to a building. I worry just a bit too much but I am getting better. ;) ;)
Frona tucked her wings in and veered down. what a sight. We saw her do not too bad a landing in the breeze.
Mom was up on a crane watching them nearby.
Mom was stooping pigeons by Newton Place and Mr. Red thought he would help but caused her to miss a meal . she was not happy. I thought mom was clearing the building for the kids to catch the pigeons but Peter said nope. Mr. Red got in the way. I am sure he thought he was helping or was just making sure he got first dibs.
what personalities they have.
when they were playing tag in the air , you could clearly hear Frona.
when we left at dusk, dad was tucked in and 2 kids were on Newton place and one was on Windsor aprtments and then flew off. We are assuming he went toward Newton place also.
had checked earlier to see if mom tucked in and she was not there but she was probably tucked in as we were leaving.
I hope you will forgive my tardiness with the pictures. I did not realize how tired I really was. We also had company and we were babysitting this weekend also
Draeton just turned 9 and he can sure pick them out.
Even my daughter now understands why I do this . So success all around.
Well I best get down there.
I want to give till this weekend with morning and evening shifts and then we will watch at our leisure.
have a great day
