Bird Cams Around the World

U of A

a cam pcitre of bonding and one of chase





The rest are pictures Jean sent me from yesterday. Chase spent some time sleeping yesterday and then white came in about noon screaming . Chase brought in some duck like prey for white. White did not eat right away, so must not have been too hungry. Chase then left . Green came in about 1:30 pm yesterday and also did not eat right away. Spent some time preening and then ate. later in afternoon both boys took off south soaring with Radisson.

As we said earlier, we are discovering that the adult female does most of later training with young males. We think this is because sh e is bigger and tunes them in when needed. They are in a position right now where they could hurt Chase. But he is still providing for them I will discuss this observation with Gord when he gets back

So glad to see people are still posting. And, the pictures are wonderful. I don't take any, I don't have the patience, talent or equipment! But, I love to see everyone else's. They're beautiful!

Thanks to all the photographers and to those who continue to post. I still check the forum at least once daily, it's a hard habit to break!

THANK YOU!!! Absolutely wonderful reports! Bev -Thank YOU!

U of A

White was in box an hour ago. will post video and pictures of him later. I heard both of them. Peter and I are just going to Weber and U of A to take a peek.

very strange night tonihgt. WEber and U of a

We went to WEber and after almost 2 hours , no yellow but we saw both adults. I know we have to wait a bit but decided to go to U of a

So we got there at end of flying, what we did see was great, after 8pm . So we got very little in pictures. but Jean came over and said they were flying great and really put on a show. she was sure she had 3 juveniles.

so Peter and I went to turn in spots.
It is after 9pm and we have 3 in turn in spots, one on top of CP and radisson still in box. So we have 5 . we jokingly said , I wonder if one could be yellow, coming to play and have a sleep over. We all know how tough R is but... I rand into Debbie form the watch and we go back and count again. we have 5

So I came home an d played back my tape. At 6:01pm yellow band form WEber was in box.



and here is R at box and white on roof just before 8pm



So at 11pm, Radisson is still in box and i ma sure as confused as us.

more pictures tomorrow form jean

U of A and Weber

note times but this is yellow in this morning and then white and then white and yellow

yellow is only n calling. He is younger by about 3 or 4 days.

very worried.

Sounds like he thinks Grammy is nicer than Mom.

Amazing...

LOL , good one mwplay

Bev. just when you thought it was ok to take a breath.

These guys are going to kill me yet this year . My main concern is he gets fed

well I will post some pictures jean took last night later but Gord is away so we talked to our expert a hack site and he said, Yellow should be O.K. He is wandering and that they will feed him. He said he may drop back at WEber also.

He told us some stories from out at hack site already. He had been for a drive about 5 miles from hack site, and spotted 4 peregrines, so he stopped to investigate , to see if another nest site was around. When he wandered down all of sudden he had 7 and they were all from hack site. He said not unusual.

He said they just opened box for a few more peregrines and the adult female there killed 3 Franklin gulls and fed them all.
so he said generally, they will adopt and feed. there are always exceptions

So we will monitor the best we can

So the little juvie from Weber has turned up here? How odd. I feel sorry for his parents as they now have no babies, right? Maybe he saw Green and White flying and playing and decided to join in and just followed them home. The whole thing is a little distressing though.

Clearly Yellow is having zero issues with flying!! Glad to hear that he ended up back at home and got supper from Green Girl, though!! Thanks for posting the vid of the surprise visit!! :)

Green Girl knew that yellow went to Grandma and Grandpa's house. And I agree that yellow can see white and green flying from the Weber nest. Because, we can just about see Weber from the parkade .

try not to worry. I am doing enough for all of us LOL

I will be posting in WEber thread, but he did go back for supper yesterday evening as we stayed to keep track( I think I may have posted in Weber thread already) Gord is away but our other expert at hack site said, he was probably soaring in the thermals and saw other young falcons and went where they went. This probably happens more than what we know . We just have not experienced it before. We learn every day.
]
yellow is a terrific flier and in next few days I will pot pictures we got of him. He is a very striking falcon .

Green girl and DO1 greeted him with fanfare and a meal. We will monitor as time allows but the young from both sites are gone all day and return in evening. they are honing their skills. We have found the young females tend to stick more closely to site, usually. But we have males at sites this year.
It has been a different season this year , that is for sure
