Hard to view these pictures of B at the nest. This time of the year, that box should be bustling with babies getting ready to be banded or to fledge. I think it was about this time last year that Callidora and Jemison were getting banded, and preparing to fledge. So happy that some of the falcon team will be watchers this weekend in Toronto.
A sad time for our Beauty and for us.
But like I said...somewhere, Kris, this year has had its ups and downs.
Mr. T, Unity -- being identified. UP!
Quest is the big one for me. UP! I' ve followed her with fascination since she was an egg. Her own little one? UP!
Linn identified? UP! Raising young? UP!
Stormin' taking over a nest? UP!
And now all the other grand eyases of M and K hatching, fledging, breeding in Cananda? UP!
The watchers going up to Toronto to watch Rhea Mae's young 'uns fledge? UP!
It's been an emotional roller coaster, and yes, our own nest box is hard to watch, but there is balance in nature, and I keep telling myself we are learning a lesson here in balance. Right now, not so "up" but it's coming.
