Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[Jazzerkins]

Bccs and Msdolittle you both must have the "magic" touch.  She looks adorable and so calm.  I also hope we can all keep in touch.  There is going to be a big hole in my life now that they have all fledged.  I will do down to watch their antics in the air.  I sure miss the cam already.  It seems that all of a sudden things started going at warp speed where before, it was slow - one day at a time.  I really expected to have a few more days before Aura was ready to fledge but I guess she surprised all of us by going so soon.  Take care everyone.  Good job done by all!

Oh My, I am sooo heartbroken I missed all the action    Does anyone still get to see them? Hope they are all doing well! I went to look at the cam and it just shows the Radisson building   Thank You all for the updates on the forum, although I didn't have any access to the computer for the past week I am thankful I can read up on things Thank You all!

No, she looks adorable. Is that the box you and bccs kept "peeing" into? 

[msdolittle]

Sorry also Tracy got the crabby side of her.

  Hello forum. Wanted to touch base with our Royal Watchers. It sure looks lonely here. I sincerely hope we can stay in touch. TPC, how are you doing? I can't imagine how much pain you went through yesterday. Speaking from memory of cuts of any kind, today you must have excruciating, throbbing pain. A falcon bite could have taken a finger. I wish you a speedy recovery. Isis, the ungrateful -----! But next year, as in years past, you will do it again. I hope to see posts about the Royals downtown. I will go there next week to see the aerial Royals for myself. Stay in touch forum family.   GCG

I was fortunate to see Isis put in the nest box from the street today. It was very obvious from street level because Princess and Ivy were very active in the air. Ivy actually got off his perch and was circling the roof, certainly not like last time when they were banded and he did nothing. Both were very vocal and flying around. Saw Isis from the box jump on the edge of the box give her wings a flap or two and then she was air born. A great aerial show happened after that and saw three falcons circling and actually in the next few minutes was able to count five that I saw. So hard when they are on the move but what a great time.

Now that the cam is off, I highly suggest to those that can, should go downtown and just enjoy nature at its best.  Fledge watch may be over but, the aerial acrobatics are about to begin!  You DO NOT want to miss this folks, the next few weeks are absolutely incredible to watch.
TRUST ME!  

You are so right Allikat, what a time last year watching them from the parking lot, the aerials were fanastic. I was telling Cooper and a couple of others tonight that they should get out on the weekend or during next week, because this as you said is the best time to watch them.

This happened way too fast!  Aura fledged (at night ) and CBC cut the cam!  I'm so ticked with them...

Sorry about your war-wound Tracy!  What a little spitfire!  The  Royal couple have cetainly done themsleves proud!  Four strong, healthy kids and one even starting to hunt, although let's hope that human hands will be replaced by prey with a little more meat...

Now on to the sky-watching...when is the best time to wander downtown to see a little action?

First, I have to say I voted for Kali, too....

We went for a walkabout after the get-together and at one point saw 5 birds.  We were able to (we think) confirm 2 females on a smokestack above the ....building between the Tavern and  the Boyd bldg (feel free to jump in here, Moonstar & Des!!).  Plus, we had two males on the top of the Rogers bldg at the same time.  The fifth was a fly-by and we did not see where he/she ended up.  All looked well!
