Thanks, Bev.  It is always interesting to hear the background on the management decisions.

One of the 2 chicks at Red Deer was from  Bell tower Edmonotn.

 Gord e-mailed me and I believe it is on the cam also. One of the chicks was born 3 days later and was 60 grams less than he should be, so Gord thinks he is on more equal footing now. This is great that this can be done. He stands a better chance of getting stronger.

Gord had told me that he might be shuffling some nests to give runts a better chance but I did not want to say anything until Gord came out and said it. Not my place.

This is really great for these two, or should I say four.   ;)

I have been watching this cam and was there for the second feeding yesterday.  It was great to see and the family seems to be quite content.

I will know more on Monday, but it could be. I will explain more when I can .

mom took to the kids and they have had a few feeds and she is snuggling them the best she can, with the size they are. Nice to see.

Would one of those chicks be from the Bell tower nest in Edmonton?

I believe there are only 2 eggs left. Now they show one of adults eating one,. Gord is going to check things out but he thinks , it is something  wrong with eggs and not predators this time.

If I hear anything I will let you know.

Not trouble accessing these cameras.  Saw bird sitting outside...no bird inside.  Hope they do have eggs soon, it should be a good site to watch.

I don't know what's going on here.  Every time I go to this site, all I get are very loud commercials that everyone in my office area can hear, and all for nothing, as I never see any falcons. 

'Fraid I'm not having any trouble accesing the site Elaine, both inside and outside views were fine and there was a bird in the box looking out through the bars ... and I didn't have my sound "on" but I didn't see commercials at all ...  :-\
