thanks Carly for reporting about Miss Radisson being there last night and this morning. sure helps me out.
Monday report
We must have just missed dad as when we got down to the site no one was home. I went down stairs for a minute or 2 ;) ;) and when I came back outside I looked up and there was Mom.
I quickly went back up to our trusty parkade and Peter was taking a few shots. she was busy preening and looking around.
When we see her looking around we always look in the same direction but could not see anyone else.
She preened for quite a bit and then she flew out of the nest box to the right and then made a turn and came to the far end of the jut of the clinical science building.
If anyone was watching her leave , did you see her pick up something from the nest box ??Because she had some prey in her talons while she was flying and had some in her talons when she landed. she proceeded to pick at it but it must not have had much on it.
If it was one of those nasty things from the box , the smell would have knocked her over ;D ;D
Anyway she proceeded to take off again and flew over to a ledge on her building facing the parkade. She had some prey stashed there , or dad stashed some there for her.
She ate there for a bit and we just enjoyed the sun and warm evening and the view of Mom.
When she had her fill she was off again , back to the nest box building and perched on the far right corner above the nest box. She stayed there for a bit and then flew off around behind the heart building. When she reappeared she was over by Newton place stooping pigeons.
We lost track of her after that.. I thought I had a picture of her but it was a pigeon.
Now I will not complain about the sun but it sure plays havoc with the eyes ::) ::)
Peter went down and walked around the area where they go down for the night but no one was there.
So we walked around the area a bit and then around 7:00pm (which is late for them these days) we went and checked the ledges again and there was mom tucked in for the night. she was alone and on the side facing Whyte avenue(or University avenue).
Peter and I called it a night .
I t was good to still see someone home and enjoying the nice weather. Go figure eh!!. Now we have some decent weather.
I hope the weather is like this where the kids are and that they are having the time of their lives.
Pictures in next post.

Awesome pictures Bev!!! I couldn't see them at work because they block any photos stored on 'storage' type servers now so all I see is a little box with an x in it. I came home and ran to my pc so I could see them..hehe! Really great shots!
