Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess

'snot a sad face, des - just a confused one.

Hey Des, great to hear that you were out spotting Trey -- he's such a beautiful bird, isn't he? And I know exactly what you mean about falcon watch reminding you about downtown/buildings/looking up.

Nice update, thanks Des. And I'm glad you got to see him
Did a quick tour around the Radisson this am, nothing to see but buildings.....AND BLUE SKY 

[des]

Sad face shouldn't have been  in my last posting - must have been form at question marks I used - never a sad face when I spot a peregrine!

Yesterday (Friday afternoon), I saw one of the falcons on the west nest taking in the sun.  Then he(probably) took off as I crossed Main ( the moment my back was turned!)  Then saw him flying onto the J in the Richardson building.  I missed the middle part and could no longer see the west nest) so perhaps it wasn't the same one,
I looked back at posting #182 (thanks bccs) , thought about how white his breast looked on the west nest and figured probably Trey, but   Anyway good to get back downtown and see one of them.
A side benefit of this year's falcon watch - the downtown area is terrific and yesterday I went on one of the exchange tours - I've started appreciating the buildings and finding out about the history of some of them and
I now notiice birds way more than I used to - i.e. spending more time looking up!
Happy birding and all else everybody.

Vesper, Vesper, Vesper....ya think she's trying to get attention?   
Like mother, like daughter...it's in the genes

Air quality check.  Sheeeshhhhh, is Vesper her own worst enemy. Heard her in the distance, found her trying to land on the Richardson Bldg louvers ledge. This ledge slopes at a huge angle, no chance to grab hold of anything. She tried about 4 times and finally gave up and dissappeared between the Canwest Bldg and the Richardson Bldg.

Friday air quality check. It's a grey, cloudy day out there today. Didn't see any of the falcons and was starting to walk back to the door and heard the noise. I stopped, looked up and there's our girl flying high in the sky south towards the river. I watched her until she blended in with the sky, nice way to start the day.

Yea Deb, but at least the falcon kids aren't asking for money or to borrow the car

[debc52]

The falcon family these days reminds me of our days with teenagers. Hanging around waiting for them to come home! And they never phone! You can almost see Trey and Princess tapping their feet!

BOT ( gawd, I just love saying that ). No sign of the falcons at 12: 10 today. Did a drive right round the Radisson, looked in all the regular places and saw nada.
Got a feeling that tomorrow will be a repeat of Tuesday - sure hope so.

I can't leave you guys alone for five minutes.  butt I hope this will be the end of this tale.   

(((Hee, hee hee, the tale has no end, it just keeps growing and twisting)))
Oh Hi Loriann, please don't ever leave me alone again, even for 5 minutes. It seems I have trouble controlling myself and need your guidence to keep me on the straight and narrow.

[bccs]

When does the forum shut down???....

The forum doesn't shut down ...well unless bccs and Loriann do something really bad 

LOL Carly - if my partner in crime and I go a little too far ( believe it or not, it has happened  ) we just get the thread locked. Now having said that, I'm looking over my shoulder for that nasty creature, the incinerator. I like Heidi waaaayyyy better, she has more of a sense of the absurd.
