U of Alberta - 2011 / ? & Radisson

[The Peregrine Chick]

How about we see what his personality turns out to be ... much of the time, the bird name themselves

For example, Loki was not the most voted male chick name last year at the Radisson, but seeing him at fledge, there was no doubt who he was ... and Isis got a hyphenated name because cute and cuddly she was not ...

How about "Newbie Bro"?

[bcbird]

Yes, the newbie is a younger brother of Damon.

I am open for suggestions for names. we could call him Newbie. 

or, Bro.

[bev.]

Yes, the newbie is a younger brother of Damon. comes from good stock, but we will dearly miss Damon. Once in a lifetime you get as good as Damon. But he did a good job last year.

I am open for suggestions for names. they do not name them. I jsut put names to them. Or we could call him Newbie.

It will be a slow time now but I am intent on getting Ids as soon as cameras are cleaned.
I would be surprised if they are not same pair. Miss RAdisson and newbie

Peter and went and checked last night and all was well
the thing now si to make sure all stays calm.

That would be Newbie, brother of Damon?  Or have the AB watchers decided on another name for him?  I know the AB project doesn't name their birds

Gord went up and  cleaned cam on Wednesday may 11, did you notice? will probably still get moisture when it rains, but my fingers are crossed for new ones. Maybe too late for this year but....I will take what  I can get for now. Almost had none.

Same male as last year. 5/D (H/V)
he is younger brother of our male from 2004 till now. He used to be at High level bridge until he came here last year. Bridge is jsut a spit away from University. Now Gord says there is a lone female.  But there is a lone male at another bridge site way across the city. We will see what happens.

Now to try and ID our female. I am certain it is Radisson but...So with clean cams I will try, and if you are watching and get it, it will be appreciated.   

Peter and I go down and check , jsut to make sure there is always 2, and no problems. I check cam also. We are not quite used to this male  at this time of year so we are learning .
A few shots

I finally got a decent picutre of the 4 eggs at Edmonton. Saw them yesterday but could not get good shot.
I am sure it was laid on Monday bet cam was down good part of day

Oops I forgot to do a thumbnail
I will go back and do it

RCF:

I just luck out somedays.

sometimes I can be down there for hours and get nothing.

[RCF]

Great pics,       Love the flying ones........I never seem to be able to get those kind of shots at Brandon. 

[bev.]

Finally got good picture of 3 eggs. but I am  sure it was laid yesterday morning

almost got band

[bev.]

We went down on Friday evening and saw female here, right up top to right of nest box(very small)

Pictures are small but it was raining  and could not get closer





And male was on top of antennae on  far left of nest box clinical science(new antennae so may be a new perch)

[bev.]

I have been out so do not know for sure if 3 eggs. they are being incubated so cannot tell
