Bird Cams Around the World

Thanks, bev, for those reports. You are always so descriptive that I feel like I'm right there with you. I hope you are able to get some good rest now, and like the others, I'll look forward to all your pictures.

I was surprised to find a peregrine at the nest this afternoon:

Nice catch Alison. I'm not sure that I've ever seen an adult over there on that netting thing before.

she was on the netting when we arrived there last after Peters work. (saw both kids and both adults)
Report coming. I know I keep saying that but i am out the door and just checked forum first.
this afternoon I will post.

Bev, the important thing is that you told us you saw everybody, so we know they're all OK!

WEber:

I am far behind but I am going to post from Sept1-10 and then in a few days I will do picutres from Aug 11 to Sept 1 Have some good ones.

First off:

The little guy put at the Weber site is progressing nicely.He has no broken bones, not even a ruffled feather. Gord figures, he hit a wire (it was very smokey that day). He has a possible soft tissue injury in shoulder.Gord is working with him personally. He sent me a picture and said he has a great personality. He will work with him for the rest of the year, and keep me posted .
Here is a pciture taken by Gord

WEber: Sept 1 Been flying for 3 weeks.

Youngster spreading wings

dad


Around 4-5pm youngster flew off roof and around to perch next to net box. He then went NE soaring . NO sign of adults

8PM
there was no sign of anyone . WE looked all around . We finally saw male adult on the R of Centre on the Centre 104 building( quite a ways from WEber. ) this is a good place to see who is coming into area.
We then went to parkade roof of WEber ,below nest box. All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw 2 falcons flying by. One had food in talons, ckcing. I believe this was the youngster ,as the other one was ahead. this was a very late feed.
Went to back of building and saw Miss Edmonton on W facing WEst. Youngster must be on a low roof just beyond. too dark to see. Dad was still on back of Centre 104.

Sept 4 WEber Centre

Miss Edmonton was on W on east side of WEber. Then another falocn came flying in. It flew all around the top of the Weber. It flew out from Weber and landed on roof at back of WEber. Then it came around front and perched on R of Centre on East side. the same side as Miss Edmonton(we believe this was a sub adult) . Miss Edmonton did not move or acknowledge her. Very strange. they both sat there for quite some time. The other falcon was picking at leftovers on the R .

The Male adult came in and landed on the N . H e came in with a bit of food. He even bowed to her. Now how immoral is that. As soon as the the other falcon started to hop toward male, Miss Edmonton , made her move and flew right at her. Male and female fly around building.
(Of course Peter is on other side with camera, seeing what is happening. )The action is all in front of me. Two falcons come around , flying together and then they fly onto W and bow to each other. Cannot tell anymore ,who is who. A falcon goes into box, not sure who. Then all of a sudden , there is chupping and flying and action on roof top ,that we cannot see(my heart is pounding). They go off south west, wing touching and chupping.

Finally things settle and we believe we have Miss Edmonton on top of Weber and Male on one of letters. We check back of Centre 104 and the youngster is there on one of the letters.

Because we try and have a life we left. (We have had the adults ushering out other falcons continually.) This is late for nesting and it is time for migration. we believe our blue banded female from Clincal science was here her begging for food.(The day before she was rescued form vent fan at another spot.)

WEber Centre Sept 7

Due to a life I sometimes have I could not go again until Sept 7. When I got there Adult was on Stelllite dish facing EAst adn adult male was on top ledge on Nw corner.

this sort of indicates the kid is on a roof somewhere. Silly me did not bring camera and could have had great pictures.

So I went up on parkade roof and saw youngster right across from me on low roof (I think it must have just eaten) . adult male flew over to W on Weber on east side(while I was talking) and youngster started to cack.Then youngster flew off towards Ramada and then flew low over my head and perched on NE ledge (4 above me) I could have had great shots. I sort of hid so as not to spook him.

I will take some pictures tomorrow of building and area so you will know what I am talking about

I was working on this last night and forum conked out so I will continue

WEber Centre Sept 8


This was the night that we thought that maybe we did not have Miss Edmonton. Things were so strange.

6:30-8:30pm

Adult male was on last E of Centre on West side. Miss Edmonton(we were not sure)was on W facing in. We thought something was wrong with her as male started catwalking toward her and then flying off and all around her and flying right in her face and would land almost on same letter. this continued for quite sometime. He was non stop on flying up, and down, and around her .

what in the heck is happening here ? Is she O.K.????

We see the youngster on the Ramada facing southWEber Centre Sept 8




OH!!!! the female is moving and she has prey under her. The male flies at her again and off she flies (someone squeals) with the prey in her talons, male in hot pursuit. they fly around building and off south, across from Weber. The young male joins in the chase .They fly low over buildings in front of us. We loose track of who is who.
Now one is on microwave tower across from Weber. ONe is on back of roof just south of Microwasve tower. I think both adults. So hopefully kid is down on roof eating. WE went over by the building

Did I mention it has been wet and cold here. Well once again , it started to rain and both adults flew onto WEber. We ran over to car and drove up to parkade roof of WEber and then we spotted one adult on roof of building we just came from. I t was the male as he flew back over to WEber. He was probably looking for left overs.

We found the youngster tucked in on The C of Centre 104 facing south.

All accounted ford ad it is pouring.

time to paddle home. I hope they all ate. I think the female was trying to eat before the male started dive bombing her.
what a weird night. I have been watching for 5 years and never saw this before. So is this our female???

click on picture Peter is trying. We did not know how to edit these

Finally getting around to reading. I've been so consumed by Harrisburg that I just didn't have the heart to check on the other nests, but I am always interested in what's happening here. Thanks for the great reports and pictures. So glad that the other juvie is being cared for by Gord. And the youngster at Weber is so cute and looks content with life.


I can't believe that you saw Little Blue over there begging for food at the Weber site.

And that sub adult being tolerated to a point.

I guess that everybody will be leaving soon and we'll have to wait a long time to see them all again.

I did see somebody on cam yesterday, but didn't get around to posting.

I will do Sept 8, 9 and 10th when I come home. I had everything ready to go last and forum went down.
I will be psoting Clinical also but wanted to do some on Weber since I had not.

Peter and I will go to University today adn check on things
