Peter met up with me where dad was and I ran back to check that mom was still in place. We walked up towards the Butter dome and then I met up with Peter on the Parkade across form the Ed building.
Peter thought he saw a falcon at the edge of campus again but it flew off. Dad was still on the crane so we decided to walk back to the Ed building and see if Cassie was still there.
Well to our delight there were both girls , side by side on the ledge of the Ed building. Hope is definitely bigger than Cassie . I rushed back to check if mom was still there and then if dad was still there. Yes, all 4 accounted for. I am in Heaven
. I am just so elated. I have been worried but have not said anything. But now I feel so much better. I will write the biologists tomorrow to see if they think the parents will migrate later this year to make sure the girls are ready.
the girls sat side by side for quite awhile. Peter and I just sat and enjoyed them.
Cassie then cat walked to the the right a bit and went onto the roof but we could still see her.
Hope flew around a bit and then came back. then she cat walked towards Cassie and Cassie went back up on the ledge.
Hope then went on the roof out of site, I think to nibble. We were getting quite cold and although I wanted to watch a flying display we went to eat not far away. I think I have put on a few pounds while watching the birds
with eating here and all, but maybe all the walking and running will counteract it.
When we came out the girls were gone and so we started to walk. Hope was on the Heart building on the opposite side from the neat box. A falcon was on the corner of the jut of the clinical science building(could be mom or other juvenile). As we were walking the falcon flew off the nest building, did not see where. One falcon was way out on the crane(possibly dad by size) and as we were driving away we did see mom on the top corner of her building.
So it was a good night and my prayers were answered. I saw both girls and they were together . They probably put on a flying display while we were filling our faces
Pictures to come later . they will not be the greatest but you will see what we were seeing(although we can see quite well with our binoculars.)
We have met so many people. Two young university students stopped us and asked what we were watching. You just know that I educated them
they were quite excited and watched through our binoculars. Another lady who just started watching the cam this year asked me how they were doing. And you know that I enjoyed giving her the scoop.
One lady asked me to write an article for the University newspaper. I will have to think about that.
Well I am very tired as I have been cleaning my daughters old house for her and then spending 3 to 4 hours watching my birds.
I cannot begin to tell you the lift this has given me this season.
NIght for now and I will post those pcitures in the morning.
