Oh that is interesting TPC, I didn't know that...I shouldn't be surprised by that though, they are exceptional parents and give their offspring all the training they can to prepare them for life. 

The Peregrine Chick:
Radisson moved away from the Radisson/Winnipeg nestsite pretty much as soon as she could - not like this year's Vesper that is for sure.  I should say that she wasn't on her own, it appeared as though Princess was keeping an eye on her because as soon as Radisson disappeared, so did Princess - didn't see either of them until Princess returned the next spring and Radisson turned up in Edmonton last year.  Did however see Trey on an almost daily basis and Bandit reappeared on the Radisson sign under the spycam a number of times after his stint in rehab (he strained muscles in his back/wing and needed some time before going back to the wild - about a month as I recall).

Nice to see Radisson doing so well, reminds me a bit of Princess' mothering this year - once the chicks were out of the tupper-nest, they were pretty much on their own except for mealtimes ....

I will have a report  from last night and a slide show of her flying a little later today.
we are still out there and today we have wind warnings. Not a good day to leave but I am sure they will both be gone by the weekend.

I am just in awe every time I see her and when I see her coming in my heart just skips a few beats.

carly:
Thank you for the report on Radisson Bev.  I'm glad you got to see her and in turn 'us' before she leaves for her long journey to the sun. 

I remember TPC telling us that Radisson vanished very soon after fledging in Winnepeg.  Whatever happened to her then must have forced her to learn to survive on her own quite quickly without P&T to spoil her so perhaps that is why she is adamant on teaching her offspring to learn to feed themselves so soon.  After all, without food they wouldn't last very long.  No doubt she has the right idea because look how far she's come...literally!

Thank you for sharing the photos with us of her and Miss Edmonton.  You  should all be proud of yourselves out there for contributing to such a successful season, some twists and turns but in the end it worked out well.

Great report on Radisson Bev...yes, we do have our "special ones".  With Radisson, it's in the genes about her parental instincts and skills.  Look at who her parents are  :D....I indeed have my "special ones" as well.   
But all in all, we love our falcons! 
Thanks for your reports, dedication, devotion and enthusiasm....way to go Bev and Mr. Bev (Peter).
