U of Alberta - 2008 / Damon & Radisson
bev.:
Sunday October 5,2008
When we got down to the site yesterday it was a bit breezy and cool. It had rained most of the night and I fully expected Radisson to be gone. We went up to the parkade across from the Heart building and looked all around but could not see her. We had previously checked out the Ed building but Peter walked all around again anyway. He did not spot her anywhere.
As he was talking to me from below I looked over behind him and there she was. In a spot I have never seen her. I must have eagle eyes ::) ::)
She was on the side of the Suite hotel
The building as seen from parkade
Picture of mom from parkade
so Peter went to get us a coffee at our trusty Hortons ;) ;)
I figured I better go down and see her more close up . Peter brought our coffee down to just below the building and we sat and watched her. Peter says that she has taking up a new suite, :) but I think she is over the moon for us.What do you think??? :-* :-*
she is probably thinking(Can I never get away from these guys) ;D ;D
I should have known that she would not stay here as Newton Place is just across from her and she can stoop pigeons here. Sure enough off she flies and proceeds to stoop pigeons around the back and comes back over the top of Newton Place.
There we are trying to follow her. As much as I love trees , today they proved to be a pain. They got in the way of me taking pictures
but I sure tried.

carly:
Beautiful pictures of all 3 moms (you included :P). I had the cam up most of the day but was in and out of meetings so I missed her :(
bev.:
A few pictures from Saturday night. If you remember we only saw her at the end and she turned in at 17:15 that night. the pictures are not that great as she was far away. I tried to get her going into her cubby for the night.
also a picture of transmitter girl (Miss Edmonton)

And finally mom makes to her building right across form us at the far right corner. she then flies off and around and comes to the far left corner.
I guess it is only fair that i post the picture Peter took of me looking through the binoculars. That is the position he sees me in most now ;D ;D
moms last push to the building
mom only takes a few nibbles and then looks out
Me watching mom(my most frequent position lately)
mom on left corner after she flies around
Just before she takes off for the evening
bev.:
Mom flies off and overhead (she is directly above us at some points) and if you look carefully you can see the prey. I know they appear to be the same pictures but her positions change. Just giving you a bit of what we were seeing as she flew overhead.
