July26I was there from 6AM TO 5PM Today.
Man, oh man. what a day.
Red is just a going concern. He was out with mom by Newton apartment. Just like a pro he flew straight up the building and down, rooting out the pigeons. That is what they do , in order to fly after them and catch them. But he loves to chase gulls, better
No one will ever convince me that these are not Damons chicks.
:
I am sure they are. Red has the taste for gulls ,just like his dad. He nearly got one today. He just went after and after it. You heard it make a shriek and then fly off.
Red and Blue really did a lot of flying, Once again my heart was thumping. :wow: I think Red who has just been flying 8 days today, is not leaving any stone unturned.
But at one point today, after all his flying, he could not get height and when I found him, he was lying lower than I had ever seen him. Red flew done to join him. I kept my eye on him, and I guess he was jsut exhausted and after he rested , up he flew and made it to top ledge of Campus Tower.
Then when he was flying way up above Campus tower he was dive bombed by a coopers hawk. Mom was on the other side of building in a ledge ,so I do not know if she was aware. But Red gave as good as he got. the kept going at each other and then Red finally ran it off.
O f course, I can be vocal. :cheer I thought no on was up on roof, and I am talking a bit loud, Mom ,go help your son. I turned around and there is a couple going to their car.
Well I am not far from the hospital
A Coopers hawk has been coming in quite a bit. Must have a nest near by.
Now if this was not enough for my heart, Blue and Red started playing tag around and in and out of the buildings.
A storm started to come in and lots of wind gusts. Red landed on a to ledge with difficulty but Blue could not and ended up on Heart building.But she really wanted to be with Red so she took off again and was blown all over. She finally ,with much difficulty ,landed on clinical science. ( Peter phoned me to tell me, that it was Blue on ledge and Red on clinical. A switch - a- roo took place that I did not see. ) Heart must have stopped for a bit
these guys are really flying circles. I was alone for 5 hours today, and so you really can get turned around.
Peter and the rest of the nihgt crew are still down there so I will wait till he gets home and update in the morning.
If I have time I will post photos from July18, 19. and 20. We will try and download videos for next week.
Daughter still has camera so we are missing great shots, but kids come first( or do they
)
Have a great evening. I will hit the hay soon
