U of Alberta - 2010 / ? & Radisson

[bev.]

She stays later at night ,if not all night and she is practicing egg laying.
5th time I have seen it today.

I must run but i will post pictures later.
I thought I would document this and then if she lays one while I am out , we have some sort of a guideline

not quite yet, Elaine, but I think  she is getting close.

I agree, she's been at the nestbox quite a bit on and off today..more so than any other day since arrival back.  She's also starting to look a bit lethargic to me...very relaxed.

Just caught Radisson in the nestbox, and it almost looks like she is laying an egg.  I have never caught a falcon laying an egg before, though, so I am probably wrong now, too.

Woohoo good catch Bev..and we knew it was our girl    Nice to have confirmation though 

[bev.]

Thanks CArly.  Well I have the R7 now of band. Is that OK TRacy
We had a nice rain last night.




AFter going to Weber ,we just drove into campus and saw RAdisson with back to us on outside perch, and the male was on the south (in the middle) of the top of Newton Place.

8:12 am EST and Radisson just flew in, she's preening herself on the ledge.  She was not there this morning from 5:30 am to 6:20 am EST.
