U of Alberta - 2009 / Damon & Radisson

[The Peregrine Chick]

Great Bev!!!  Love the snow flake effect! 

Be careful with animated effects like snow, its a case of "be careful what you wish for" ...

I have had trouble with pho to bucket all day so I hope this works. Just a few shots from the last 2 days

Who's on the nest now?  It looks like Damon to me (smaller) but maybe it's just the angle. 

[allikat]

Here's to Radisson and Damon to having a nestbox of cute chicks, to awkward chicks, to beautiful brown juvies, to successful fledges to the future of peregrines!

[Liz]

Hey yeah, it does have a nice ring to it!  I didn't even try them together  .  cool! 

[carly]

Radisson and Damon, I like it, has a nice ring to it!  Here's to a full nestbox of chicks this year...cheers 

[Liz]

Welcome, handsome!

O.K. then, the official name for our male is Damon.

all the other good names I thought of were taken by other falcons.
Introducing Damon

[allikat]

Great name Bev...Perfect!

[Liz]

I find it easier to keep all the birds straight if they have names

Me too; I need names. 

Very nice name Bev and more so because of the meaning of it and it's a perfectly good name for a falcon dad 

ditto

I like Damon .... sounds like a good name.  I find it easier to keep all the birds straight if they have names

[bev.]

I am still thinking Damon or DAemyn.  does anyone have any objections.  the biologists here do not believe in naming but I can.
It means faithful, loyal, constant.
Is this a good male falcons name??

[The Peregrine Chick]

"Old Yeller"?  Does that mean he gets shot at the end of the story?  eww (Sorry kids)

Naw, his band number is O/Y and that's the name that popped into my head.  I'm sure Bev and the Edmonton gang will come up with a better one in the near future!
