Bird Cams Around the World

may30 5;07pm
It is raining and Chase has made a real mess of eggs. I will post video later but sure hop e R does not stay gone long. He normally does real well but no w has none covered

will let video run an d come back and piece it together later

I predict they will not all hatch but R does a great job so???

U of A

Well here is video . It was 12 minutes but you can get the idea. He was so distracted . He tried but not hard enough. can just hear him saying, Boy, am I in TROUBLE LOL

so what is a guy to do, call for help and make an exit. Radisson gets it straightened out.

but not for long. she leaves and he messes it up again. now just one egg out

I do have a really soft spot for him. He is so much better than last year but...

weber may31

We spent 4 hours down here on may 30 but it was inclusive as to whether we had 2 as we did not see an exchange. We did see a falocn but it was on Miss Edmonton's W and yet was it her

so yesterday afternoon, we went down for a few hours. I stayed inside as I was under the weather but we were rewarded. We had an exchange. We now know the male goes on the W also.

We have never seen anyone but Miss Edmonton and juveniles there.

That is the thing. New male , new things.
We spent time getting acquainted with his haunts

The little stinker kept flying off and soaring so we kept thinking now we will have an exchange but he wanted to make us wait

We still cannot get his band Id but we always get Miss E . He just will not cooperate or the light is poor. We sure tried though . Need bigger lens but we have enough trouble with this one

male


flying ones are all male






he likes back (west side )




and he likes top north side not far from box. just happened to carch him fly there as he is hard to see



he flies up to box for exchange




miss Edmonton





So all is well. We like to check at least twice a week. he likes to go on back o f building and on top north corner. I will miss the antics of other male, who like to play peek a--boo on roof top

Beverly Bridge , edmonton

I forgot to post these pictures

we have 2 falcons here. the are not in wither of the boxes. they prefer the pillar. I think it is better spot for them anyhow

A goose is nesting on one box and another goose is nesting on a pillar at opposite end. LOL



top of trestle bridge


nests on pillar to left right under trestle steel.

these wre taken last Saturday after a trip to Weber.
It was later

R was on west side of CP on ledge and then flew over to nest box . last 2 are chase. It was dark so not too good. Chase is really a handsome guy and quite the flier


cannot see band so it threw us off course until exchange



chase

U of A

Raining again. will it ever stop

Boy, can that Chase make me laugh with him trying to keep ALL the eggs under him..

he is a character

they have zoomed in , getting ready for hatching. probably early next week.last egg abut May12 so 3o days June 11( so anywhere after there.)

u of A
exchange

The "zoom" is awesome! This is going to make watching very easy this year -- until the little dickens start fledging. But until then ... sitting with a hot coffee, my tablet, free WiFi .... easy peasy!

The peregrine pair are especially attractive.......Not that there are any ugly peregrines!!
R has a beautiful powdery tint to her, that I see not to often and happens to be my favourite variation...

Something was bothering Radisson.

Carolyn, that's around the time that our thunderstorm started, but she's pretty used to thunderstorms (seems like every evening in the summer), so that's likely not it.

we have had an intruder occasionally but have not seen it for a long time. very windy out there and maybe helicopter having trouble landing. Jean is out of town till next week so I cannot even phone her.

If I could sit , I would go down but I cannot sit right now(sciatic nerve)

thanks for noting that Carolyn. I was just pulling my video off now(standing)

all seems well now.

will hopefully be able to check down there tomorrow

Again, Chase can`t get all the eggs under him and has one to the side now.

looks lie we only have 3 eggs. with the zoom in I do not know if it was discarded or in a corner somewhere

U of A
if we get any hatches , with Chase we are lucky. He just does not get that all eggs must be covered

Bev. How is Weber doing?. Do they have eggs?
