U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson

[bev.]

We must have just missed  the female raven going into the nest, then.  That is why the falcons took off.  the ravens were gone at the time.

I thought I saw a raven in the box during the flybys. but when I looked when we left I could not see anything.
I feel bad if there are eggs but there is lots of time left for them to build a nest and have more. I saw a big Raven , maybe the male, trying to claim a nest in a big tree at Corbett Hall,behind the parkade. Maybe it is the male here and he is looking for a new nest. I hope so.

Peter said to say , the falcons were going on a supper date

I will e-mail you again Eli , when we are going down there. I would love to show you all the spots they hang out at. I am sure Wayne filled you in.

I am out to supper at 5 tomorrow. My daughter is cooking.  I am out to church in the morning also. so I am going to miss some things. Keep your eyes peeled. 

I will try and talk Peter into going there before supper.  No promises though.  I need to  live down there.
I am off to get some photos now. Be back in a bit

Happy Easter everyone.

I just lost my post.
sorry I missed you Eli.

We were all over. I kept looking to see if anyone was looking for us.
I think the mans name is Wayne. i talked to him in great length last year. Very interesting man. so the  female must have come back yesterday becasue I did not see the male until after supper today. then it was raining here last night so she was probably tired and not wanting to do anything.
I feel bad if there are eggs. i did not get the impression that the falcons would kill them unless they really had to, because they let the one tonight just sit there.

It looked smaller so it could have been the female.

I think TPC is the best one to answer that question.

Darn...guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow!

If some of you are celebrating Easter tomorrow by having dinner with family/friends....Have a HAPPY EASTER!

I'll be a nervous wreck tomorrow evening as I will be away...guess I'll come home to 3 pages of unread posts 

I didn't know that falcons could kill ravens easily...thought it would be more of a fight...NOT THAT I WANT TO WITNESS ONE OR WANT THERE TO BE ONE!  Anyone know the answer to that question?

[eagle63_1999]

I couldn't see a thing and now it's down so can't even check even if I wanted to.

I didn't see anything in the box earlier this evening, however it was hard to tell as there was condensation on the lens.  Did anyone else see anything??

[eagle63_1999]

Yippee on one hand and oh no on the other hand if there really is eggs by the ravens.  This is not gonna be pretty folks I don't think.

[Liz]

Yeah for now but did you read the previous pages Liz, the falcons are back in town!

So I see!  I was checking in all afternoon... saw the fly-by photo.  Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allikat]

I forgot to mention - it looks like there are eggs in the nest.  What a bad situation this is for the ravens, if they lose both their eggs and their lives.

Eggs??  OH NO...NO NO NO!!
I didn't see any before..really, there are eggs?

[allikat]

Oh no, eggs?  I can't tell with that smush on the lens.  All's quiet, but I see Weezie's settled in.

For now all is quiet, it's wait and see, the Falcons will be watching the Ravens.  They could kill them easily when you consider they kill ducks for food.  So who knows what will happen.
