Thank you for the birthday greetings!

Happy Birthday Gayle!

Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

   

Dinner was a little late, but filling none the less.

I have a feeling there's something they're perceiving as a threat that we can't see. Hopefully whatever it is will move on real soon.

When I went back through downtown after visting Pigott at the BS location, all was quiet.  Donna let me know that Beauty had been out of the nest box for awhile, but that she had returned with food.

It was wonderful to see Beauty, D.C., Pigott and KPT tonite.  It's been awhile since I've seen all four!   

Is he ok?  How's the hawk?

He forced the hawk down into the tree line.  I'm sure he's fine.  Wasn't a long attack.  A few hits.  I think this hawk is a little too close for D.C.'s liking.  As the eyas gets closer to fledging, D.C. and Beauty will both do some serious clearing of the airspace around the Times Square Bldg.

Look at me momma!  I have wings just like yours!

Hey Ma!  Tell me a story!  Please!

Eyas?  There ain't no eyas here!  Move along!

 

Hello gorgeous momma!   

Happy Birthday Will!  Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian friends!

 

Beauty speed skating?  Or is that the electric slide?   

More Please!

Baby and Orville.  

Banding was today in Edmonton for the U of Alberta nest.  Three of the four babies have been held back by Gord as they were in rough shape, two especially were infested with bugs and Gord said their health so bad the would likely not have survived another week.  Bev has just updated and said that Gord has confirmed that the two smaller ones both have Frounce and will be treated, he feels they have a chance.

She will post more details to BCAW later.  Only one of the four babies was well enough to be returned back to the parents.  Elaine also said that Gord will remove the nestbox and replace it as this one is no longer fit for occupancy.

I haven't been watching much but others that have reported the kids didn't look quite right and Bev's instincts as always proved correct - she knew something was wrong last week.

Thank goodness they got to them when they did! At least now they have a chance to survive.   

Love this picture!  Good catch Ei!   

Baby's sleeping with Orville! 

They always find Orville!
