U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson

[allikat]

Oh...I don't know if I can take this 

Watching these cams is such an emotional rollercoaster ride.  Today I saw 3 beautiful new chicks in Rome and a second egg laid at Elk River.  Happy times.  And then I went to de Mortel and watched yesterday's video of another falcon challenging for the nestsite.  First harassing Pa and then S2 and the challenger in aerial acrobatics.  I couldn't tell what the outcome was even after translating the post but assumed both Pa and S2 O.K. At that point I decided I wasn't going to watch that site for a while. But like Carly and Allikat, I need to know how things turn out for Radisson.  Talons crossed for a good outcome here.

I went to the de Mortel site and watched the video...I hope that the intruder was escorted out without any need for battle...

This waiting and not knowing is agonizing...even the smell of pizza cooking is not cheering me up.

If Im not mistaken you can get skype for your cell phone and she could send us live video feed . We could see everything in living colour

...we need to get Bev a Blackberry so she can message us!!

I am with you Carly! Bev could be sending us up to the minute updates 

[allikat]

I didn't know either...oh my!

I hope no one is injured.  Too much has gone on at that site.

[carly]

Oh no Maggie, I didn't know about S2 and Pa having another challenger.  Oh dear, I hope it turned out okay.  They've had enough angst at the site.

Looks like Weezie may be watch something outside the box

[allikat]

I'm hoping for the same thing Carly...just want the falcon to relax after the flight home.  NOT get into this right now!

[carly]

Obviously whoever was buzzing is now recovered fromt he flight home and trying to figure out how to get her/his house back.  

I just hope George and whomever aren't having an altercation as we sit here waiting...it's strange he hasn't shown up though.  You'd think she'd have called out at least??!!

[allikat]

We're all mushy sheltiegirl...it's okay, you're in good company 

We don't want anything to happen to both sides either.
I can't believe this is happening....

[sheltiegirl]

I may have to run away and hide my head, I dont want anyone to get hurt on either side. Im such a mushy soul I cant control it.

[allikat]

Amazing...all was calm until we saw that image of the fly by 

I understand Carly.  I feel the same about Radisson as you do...

[carly]

It's not going to be easy to watch and if this were just another site where I didn't know the birds..I would not watch as you know..I'm quite the wimp.  But I can't just not watch knowing our Radisson might get hurt...

George is either nearby or he may be out getting food?  After all until today there were no falcons...so he might be unawares as of yet...!  Although weezie didn't seem perturbed...we need to get Bev a Blackberry so she can message us!!

[allikat]

Well given this box is a different configuration than the NL box where all that fighting took place..there may be hope.  Over there you pretty much had to go in to draw them out..but here she may be buzzing to try and draw the raven out.  As long as she doesn't go in and get cornered ...George will be the tough one as he's huge but I think she could take Weezie easily...not that I'm wishing it or anything.

That's what I'm worried about right now...Where was George during this fly by?  If he was standing guard and watching the fly-by...i don't even want to think about it 
I hope Bev rounds people up to clap really loud down there
