U of Alberta - 2008 / Damon & Radisson
bev.:
Well, once again, I thought she was gone but at 5:20 she appeared and soared overhead the parkade and then flew around her building and then around the nest box building and then back to perch at the top ledge of her building. I think she was saying her final good bye to me. :'( :'(It was nice to watch her soar with no cares in the world.
Peter had the camera, so sorry, but then she flew to a ledge on dads building and was there for about 3 minutes .
And off she flew to her perch for the night. She went even earlier tonight- 5:30. So what does that tell you.
We went and checked on her and I silently said goodbye. I was surprised she was there today but I will be very surprised if she is there tomorrow. This is exactly how it was before dad left.
I am sure Peter was saying. Oh S--- she is still here ;D ;D
We went to see if transmitter girl was here and she is still here also.
The kids left on a weekend , Dad left 7 days later and mom will probably leave 7 days later than dad. Very interesting.
It was a bit cooler tonihgt but still nice.
We got the camera back from my daughter today so Peter will have the pictures downloaded after we eat and then I will work on them. There will be some nice shots of her flying with the prey from Wednesday and some form tonight.
Have a lovely evening

Yeah, me neither.
So glad you spotted her, Bev. She seems to be doing a long farewell.
bev.:
I am not sure why they were there but I e-mailed the biologists. A maintenance worker told me he thinks the cam is just switched off, and I do not think anyone has made it over there to switch it back on. the story of my life here. ::) ::)
I will post more pictures tomorrow.
carly:
Yay..I'm glad you got to see her again Bev :D I wonder what those people were doing at the box, working on the webcam maybe to fix that one that's been down for awhile do you think?
bev.:
I did not see mom at the box tonight but she spent 2 hours on an aerial on the very back of the Ed building. :-* :-* The pigeons flew in front of her as if to tease. Silly fools.
She just preened and looked ever so proud and regal.
She then flew off at 18: 10 and soared over the Ed building a few times. the pigeons scattered ;D ;D and then went straight to her perch for the night. When dad did this he was gone the next evening. At least we did not see him tuck in and then the next day he was gone. :'(
We did not see transmitter girl but we will check again tomorrow.
I hope the people we saw yesterday on the nest box roof did not spook her.
what I find amazing is how they can perch for that long. Well, I guess Peter and perched for that long also ;) ;) the time really flies .
The air is getting a little cooler after our mini summer the last few days but it should still remain relatively nice throughout the weekend.
Have a good evening :) :)
