Once in a while I can log into the Edmonton site and see one pic and yes TPC it is one cute little fluff ball of white.

That last photo of Radisson reminded me that a series of USAF fighter jets was called the falcon.

It just amazes me how fast they grow!

What super pictures!! That forlorn little egg make me sad, but the chick sure seems healthy & well loved!

I have some pictures from today.  I have noticed that the male comes in and radisson goes out and comes back shortly with prey.  So I think that the male ,so far , is hunting and dropping the prey off where I mentioned yesterday and then he comes and baby sits while the female gets the meal and then she comes and feeds.this is most times.

sometimes he comes in and starts the meal and then she takes over. they are making a great team

she does get some great poses. I get quite a laugh.
we have had a lot of rain today so the male came in quite wet . I t has cooled things off a bit though

Do I have a life. well ,yes and my husband is very patient with me. Poor guy.
female on left and male on right . she is relieving the male


Just a cute shot

Thanks for the pics Bev, I did get to see that part online and it was so sweet to watch and I agree Radisson seems to be more welcoming of shared parenting

Radisson is doing a great job.  I absolutely love watching my nest box.

I hope everything is well with Tracy and the chicks etc. also.. positive vibes everyone

Radisson seems to be much more into 50/50 parenting than the Elk River mum.

These are lovely photos .I really like the one with Mom and Dad but they all made me smile and go aw .

I also am worried about Tracy , I sure hope all is well with her , T & P  and the two little ones , fingers crossed she will have time to at least let us know she is ok tonight some time

I said it before, but seeing this nest in photos and refeshes gives the impression of such beauty, tenderness and tremendous parental devotion.  It gives me different feelings compared to watching the action webcam, and I'm glad to have it this way.  Thanks again, Bev, for all you put into keeping us up with the activity in this nest.
