Manitoba Peregrines > U of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta
U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson
carly:
Oh my god!! I was just joking about the ravens but I just saw the photos on BCAW - they are back??? ???
Might be a good time to put some doors on that nest box!!
bev.:
We did see 2 ravens a week ago but right now just magpies and a few crows. the crows migrate, magpies do not.
Peter and I have offered to clean the nest box. we will see what they say.
I seem to get attached to all the peregrines. ::) ::) RAdisson has certainly raised 5 wonderful babes. I am counting Hope ,as she and Damon made her successful.
As I said Peter and I will check again today and if no sightings then I am sure they left yesterday sometime. We check where she went for the night and Miss Edmonton is not hard to locate.
And yesterday I almost drove off the highway,in the snow, as I spotted a bald eagle just west of Edmonton.
It is funny when we are driving into the University because both Peter and I have eyes on buildings and skies. the problem is Peter is driving. ;D ;D ;D I do have a sticker on my bumper though that says I LOve Falcons.
carly:
Mine don't migrate but I feel the same way you do Bev especially as I've come to love Radisson so much. I still think of Cassie and have her photos on my computer, I hope someday we hear of her having a mate and family of her own too. They are all wonderful and I wish them all a safe migration :-*
I wonder if George and Weezie will try to move on up again once they see Radisson and Damon gone :o :P
Edit to add: Ack! Just watching the weather and see the snowy mess out in Alberta and the cold temperatures....ack -15 with the wind chill in Edmonton :o!
allikat:
Oh Bev...we feel the same way! I wish they didn't have to leave, but it's what they know and what they do. All we can do is wish them well. Good luck do our falcons!
bev.:
As of last night Radisson and Miss Edmonton were still here but we had snow this morning and when Peter and I went down after his work today , there was no sign of either. We stayed until it got dark, which is early now.
I will post that slides show of Radisson flying the other night, tomorrow morning.Then I will post a report of the week I came back and then Peter and I will go through the photos and post some (probably a slide show) of the best of what has not been posted yet.
I find this so dismal at this time of year. I am sure most of us feel the same when we have falcons that migrate.
I did shed a few tears . Fly safe my sweet girls. And we will await your return next year :-* :-*
Peter and I will go down again tomorrow , just to make sure. this is when they both migrated last year.
