Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess

[allikat]

Hey everybody!!

I'm going to have to try to remember to get on here asap in the morning to give an air quality report!  My bad!!!  ()

As I was driving toward downtown, saw two of our falcons swirlin in the wind above the Radisson.  One landed on the tower, based on size, pretty sure it was Trey, however the other falcon with him was quite large, so I immediately thought it was Princess, but after watching her attempt a few landings, unsuccessfully, I said to myself....Vesper.

I pulled over for a few minutes to watch then I saw one of the boys fly over to the dome, take off again, fly around and then I lost sight of him.  I was upset because that meant I had to get back into my car and actually go to work.

It's wonderful to see them.....We are so lucky!

air quality check, no birdies in sight. It's really cooled down, the wind is still strong and it's starting to spit rain.

Love your air quality checks b.  Thanks for those.   I sure miss those kids even though we have our own here to check up on.  Will be going downtown again after work and will report what the scoop is.

Thanks again!

Ditto!

Thanks for the reports, bccs - next best thing to actually seeing them.

Air quality check. One on the post office and I think one on a tower at the hydro bldg. Heard our girl, think that was the post office one, seemed big to me.

Thanks mother hen, think I'll go look for the kids. Be right back.

Air quality check, found one circling the Richardson Building, looked like a boy to me. He landed on the tower ( beautifully performed ) and then headed south, there's a very strong north wind today. He met up with Princess. She gave him a little lesson in food transferring and then another boy joined in. 

Thanks for the great update this morning, bccs!

Great report -- and I'm green with envy! I've yet to see the food transfer, but it's good to hear that it's happening -- those are smart chicks!

I just stood and watched till they went south out of sight.

hey Saoirse, they seem to be on higher buildings right now. And the nest box on the west side of the Radisson has become quite popular. Haven't seen any of them on the Paris, Avenue or Vital Statistics buildings for a while. They do seem to be hanging around the same area of downtown that we could see from the parking lot. They're just venturing a little further and a whole lot higher.

Mornin', B -- good to know you're still checking the skies every morning! When you've seen the birdies recently, have you found that they're haunting much the same spots (i.e. the tall buildings right around the same general area)? Have to say, I really miss the fledge watch days of standing (or sitting) downtown with eyes glued to the sky, eager for even a quick glimpse of our chicks!

July 28/09 air quality check, sorry guys, nothing this check to report. All was quite, nothing in the air.
Hey allikat, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for all the air quality checks B....I stopped briefly on my way to work (couldn't stay long - late), and on my way home...I didn't see any of them.
