bev.:
I am sorry the slide show not finished yet but keep checking. I did not realize how tired Peter and I both wee so we took a bit of a break but he promises to have this done this week. we have so many pcitures to sift through, literally thousands.
It is coming
bev.:
I received a note form one of the bilogists to answer my question about the egg that did not hatch
His answer was:::
The un-hatched egg had no developed embryo inside, so was most likely an unfertilized egg. Pairs breeding for the first time often miss an egg. She was a late nester too, something that usually results in small clutches and low fertility. If she comes back next year, my bet is she will lay four and hatch four
this was good news . It means that it was not evvironmental.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone :-* :-*
We will go to the site on Monday for old times sake.
bev.:
Thanks guys. I still have a slide show in progress so stay tuned. It will take a few days to do(like maybe by the end of the weekend??) I just have to gather myself together.
I told Tracy in and e-mail that my house looks worse than Radissons box :-[ such is life.
My one purpose in doing this was to give it as a gift to you after the loss in the spring at your site. then I realized that we would all learn form it and I think we have.
And I did not realize at the time how attached I would become. I could hardly wait to get down there and see what was happening next.
I think my husband secretly enjoyed it also. He would not have come otherwise.

What can I say - I was in tears, too. I can't begin to imagine how you must feel now that they are gone, Bev. Somehow knowing that they will be going doesn't help much when you finally realize they've actually gone. Thank you so much Bev, for the reports, the pictures, the time, everything you've put into giving us their story.

Bev, thank you soo much for sharing the adventures of these falcons with us. It is so hard not knowing what happens once the young fledge so it was a great gift to us to be able to follow their progress. 8)
