April 12 U of A peter and I went down there later last night . Still under weather but went anyhow. Freezing out there
for quite awhile Radisson was on top corner of CP bu tthen ravens passed through and she flew over to corner of Maz, across from nest box.
it was getting darker and all of sudden she flew north east . I figured she must have seen something.
We kept watching for her and then there she was chupping in nest box.
Well you know what that means. A falcon came flying from east.It looked big but Peter said Radisson bigger. Anyhow it flew over Maz area , did a swoop past box, (shudder, shudder), but she just chupped.
Then it flew out over Clinical science,and out a bit and then over us and over to top of CP by yellow sign. WE could not get decent picutres as it was getting dark. but it did look big , but at same time my gut told me Chase.( we know Chase is a big male)
RAdisson then flew over fast with no noise toward CP. And the other falocn flew off and around south side of CP and RAdisson was behind it. They flew around Windsor apartments and the other falcon flew out north fast.
RAdisson flew out a bit and I lost track. We waited and waited and it got dark. I thought I saw one fly back in by Maz.
WE then checked night roost and there was one there. radisson, I assume
So do not knwo who this was. I think if female, Radisson would have been more vocal. if Chase, she does notseem to want around.
We will have to be vigilant now.
A f few bad shots
radisson
other falocn
