good morning.

I have just heard form our friend at Agrium. He has joined this forum and will post when he can and wants to learn more also.

He is going to go and clean cam and nest box and get ready for the season.
I alerted him to fact we have falcons back in Edmonton and they should be there soon.

It will be great to have his input here.

A big welcome :grwelcom

Hi Folks!
Dale from Agrium here. Getting ready for another great season. I have the unique privilege of being able to work with our amazing provincial biologists, and acting as a falcon caretaker out here at the plant. Over the years this has resulted with falcons in my car, in my office, in my jacket.. as a matter of fact, that may be why a lot of people don't come and visit me anymore :) We do everything we can to ensure the birds are successful every year, and this year will be no exception. You are all a big part of this. last year it was your work analyzing the camera footage that let us know the female had left the eggs. Because you noticed that, we were able to save those eggs before it was too late. You are directly responsible for 4 falcons being hatched and fledged out. Thank you for that, for allowing me to join, and I cant wait for another great year!

peter will download our poor piutres but saw one on ledge below box facing in. no way to ID but went back later and we found one in their turn in spot. Very large, so has to be Green girl. but we will wait till we get band .
no way , anyone else would know this spot. It is an usual one.

just have not had sufficient time to monitor from ground

we were late getting there but had , who we think is Green girl, in her unusual turn in spot and we had a male on the letter on Weber center

WE will go today and see if We can scope them, and then I am busy with out of country family from WEd till next weekend.
may be able to sneak away for a few hours, but that would be rude.

going to see when they returned last year

WE went down this afternoon and no one was home. We came back late in evening and had one on ledge , in front of box.
then i heard a little soft calling and one flew onto the E of Center . th e one on ledge flew down to N and there was another soft echup and one flew off. WE knew where . yes, MIss Green went to her tuck in.

We will try and get band ID as soon as possible

Thank you for the warm welcome!
We are all on the lookout for the return of our birds-but so far, nada!
The cam is up and running and looks fantastic. As soon as I start getting reports the birds are back, I will drop in and let you all know.

-and I spoke too soon! Not a half hour after I posted this, I went over to have a look at the nest and although its hard to be 100% sure-I saw what I believe are our birds. I snapped a shot with my phone.. Is there a way for me to post that picture?

Thank you RFOF for getting the Agrium the Cam back on :sum9:

I called Bev right away. She is on the road for a while this morning but asked me to let you know that we will be keeping a close watch here and will pass along anything we can discover to help with the identification of your falcons. She should be able to help you post your pics.

Now if we can get the other 4 up and running again.
