Alison, thanks for posting this afternoon's visit of Mom to the nestbox. You really can see her look of, "Housecleaning? Me? I don't think so."

I know I shouldn't try and guess what they are thinking, but when I look at her I just think that she is a happy and successful first time mom, kicking back after a very eventful few months. After all, she fought another female for this nestbox and her mate. She laid 2 eggs, hatched one and successfully raised Cassie to a beautiful young falcon. She and Dad then fostered another chick, and educated and closely supervised the girls so that they could be independent young falcons, ready to face life out there is the big world. I have the feeling that Cassie and Hope are starting their great adventure together and will be just fine :) :) :)

Thanks, Maggieblue for describing this happy picture. Radisson very much does deserve to be proud of her first time accomplishment of motherhood. It looks like she is already thinking of next season.
Alison:
Thank you again for all the great updates and photos, Bev. You have made it possible for all of us to participate in everything that is happening around the nest site. I hope the whole family is still there for a little longer. Can't wait for your next report.
One of the parents at the nest box earlier:

8:00 pm EST and Radisson is back on the ledge looking into the nestbox!

For a second there today when Radisson was staring into the box..I thought maybe she's contemplating some house cleaning :P but I guess she thought better of it. She probably can't figure out why dad hasn't cleaned up yet given that her dad did all the housework ::) ::)
Thanks for all the great pictures Bev, really I feel like I could find my way around there now and feels nice knowing where they might be hiding out. Before you starting posting pictures I'd always try to imagine if it was like here and wonder where our girls would go! Take care out there and dress warmly!
