Kewl, thanks for this Carly.  Interesting read.

My Mum always used to say, " you gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die."

In defense of our girl Radisson; I found something interesting on Froona's site when I was researching avian flu the other day. 

Apparently they need a messy nest to develop their immune systems!  Very interesting read and really Radisson is just being a good mom  ::)

Feeding time.  Hard to see who is getting what as a parent is blocking the view.  They need Trey there to show them how to housekeep.  There are feathers everywhere!

I just love watching these little ones.  I have the Radisson and this screen open and watch them both at the same time.  It's hard to believe that they Radisson chicks were ever this small!
 
We get to see more of these ones uncovered as it must be much warmer there than it was in Winnipeg when the Radisson chicks were this small.  It's so cool to watch it all over again.

Thanks everyone.
I am trying to cover as best as I can. Have been watching Toronto residential as they are to fledge soon and with only one parent I am being the second ;D ;D ;D

I will tell how many pcitures in the slides. I am not sure if I can do them any other way than automatic but when Peter comes back from out of town I will ask him.
I only asked becasue I did not wan tot bore anyone. Adn I think this takes up less space in the threads.

Slide shows are fine with me.  It's an easy way to see more pictures with one click. I'd like to know how many pictures there will be, or have the show not loop automatically.
Thanks Bev. This site is a favourite of mine, and I appreciate all the work you do for it including posting pictures for us.
