Once in a while I can log into the Edmonton site and see one pic and yes TPC it is one cute little fluff ball of white.

That last photo of Radisson reminded me that a series of USAF fighter jets was called the falcon.

I have some pictures from today.  I have noticed that the male comes in and radisson goes out and comes back shortly with prey.  So I think that the male ,so far , is hunting and dropping the prey off where I mentioned yesterday and then he comes and baby sits while the female gets the meal and then she comes and feeds.this is most times.

sometimes he comes in and starts the meal and then she takes over. they are making a great team

she does get some great poses. I get quite a laugh.
we have had a lot of rain today so the male came in quite wet . I t has cooled things off a bit though

Do I have a life. well ,yes and my husband is very patient with me. Poor guy. :) :)
female on left and male on right . she is relieving the male


Just a cute shot

Mom coming in again to relieve dad

Thanks for the pics Bev, I did get to see that part online and it was so sweet to watch and I agree Radisson seems to be more welcoming of shared parenting  :D

Radisson seems to be much more into 50/50 parenting than the Elk River mum.

I said it before, but seeing this nest in photos and refeshes gives the impression of such beauty, tenderness and tremendous parental devotion.  It gives me different feelings compared to watching the action webcam, and I'm glad to have it this way.  Thanks again, Bev, for all you put into keeping us up with the activity in this nest.
