Mom has been at neat box for over an hour. what a treat. :) :) the weather is miserable but it was fairly nice this morning.
bev.:
I was so hoping to tune in today and have you say you saw Cassie. Peter and I went down after church today and at about 11:30 Alberta time, Cassie was on the nest box roof. she was a cacking and so beautiful. we saw her fly over there and we think it was mom that tried to land also, but not sure.
I was sure wishing I had one of those air things for the computer so I could have brought it with me. maybe next year . I will do u a report later but I have to tell you its exciting.
I only tuned in to see if one of you had spotted her.
Pictures and report coming. so many pictures over the last few days and I cannot decide which ones of the 200 to post. :-[ we h just get so excited.
I have to clean a bit of my house ad then I will be back. :) :)

So nice to get the pictures of girls with blue sky behind.
What dedication to brave the wet to keep us all informed. Thanks Bev!
Gorgeous sunny day here. Hubby and I bonding again at the rental, this time over outdoor cleanup of a near jungle like situation!
carly:
I was wondering how they were doing when I saw the temperatures out there on the weather network. Happy to hear and see :D that both girls are doing well and keeping safe.
Thanks Bev to both of you for going out and braving the elements to look out for our girls :)

Went down last night and this morning.
when we first went down last night we saw mom on the top of the clinical science building. she is a beaut.
There was no one on the Ed building and then I saw Hope fly from the roof of a building by the front of the hospital to the tower at the University. I also saw an adult on the tower on dads building.
After a bit Cassie came flying in and landed on a lower perch.
we went for a coffee (because it started to rain)and watched them from the window. it was real chilly last night. Just before we sent outside I saw Hope fly off her tower and go towrds the front of the hospital. When we went back outside I scoured the area while Peter started to go up to the parkade across form the ed building.
I found mom tucked onto a top ledge on the building behind dads building.(remember it is chilly out).
Hope must have flown back where we could not see her becasue when we got to the top of the tower she was back on a perch.
It was getting darker out so it was hard to tell who was who.
Then Dad flew over the Ed building and over our heads and out towards the river.
The 2 girls started to cack.
After a bit when I went to see if mom was still in place .While i was gone one of the girls(we believe it to be cassie) flew off the perch and toward the crane across from the hospital.
Then Peter saw her chase dad behind the hospital. We figure it was a food drop but becasue it was getting darker it was hard to tell.
Hope stayed in place and then eventually flew off toward the area where she spends the night.
As it was was getting hard to see we decide to leave. the only one we could still see was mom, but I am sure they were either eating or tucked in for the night.
Saturday morning
Not much to tell this morning.
When we got there we could see Hope perched on the Ed building. As we were walking we also spotted Cassie on the top of the Extension building. a short time later Cassie flew to the Ed building on the back tower.
It had really started to pour so we needed something hot. The 2 girls were still there and then all of a sudden they were gone. They either went hunting or took cover from the rain. we went up to the parkade but decided to leave as it was freezing and we were getting soaked. Will try again tomorrow.
At least they are still hanging together :) :)
Pictures still coming.
I will post a few form the other night to keep you in suspense ;D ;D
