I hope you are learning as much as me. what a treat.

Dad was born downtown Edmonton. I think Casanova comes to mind but I will think of something appropriate. I hold my breath every season to see if it is that is back. He is great. such a busy beaver .

Bev, I've been thinking, it's time dad had a name. Do we know if he had a name and where he was from at all? He seems to be a super dad, he's raised many, many young and provided for them. He's a great foster dad based on what you've told us about the nest history. He's had 3 females fighting for him and mated with all 3 of them at some point and lost 2 of them :(.
I think if he doesn't have a name then he surely deserves one.

Thanks to you, Bev, we all get to watch!
Lucky grandson, to have such fabulous quality time with grandparents.

Yes, on August the 13th the biologists added a female juvenile that had been found on the ground in red deer Alberta. they did not feel comfortable leaving it at the site they thought it came from as they could see no adults , so they fostered it here. she was close in age to our femme an what a ride it has been. I was apprehensive at first but the bilogists just said sit back and watch. cassie had only just started to fly and this one had already flown. I watched her make her first flights here after a few days and it was awesome.
I named her Hope for the new hope she had been given. Cassie and her took to each other immediately and on most days are together. Last night was one of the few nights I did not see them together at some point. the parents took to her also.
this nest site is noted for its fostering efforts.
It has been a great thing to watch. ;D ;D :-* :-*
