Radisson - Ella enjoying the sun this morning from her perch on the Alt Hotel sign. We are rapidly approaching when the last of our birds have left in past years. However Ella is tenacious & patient or maybe she's just waiting for me to put the nestbox back ...

Radisson - unexpected visitor on the Radisson sign this am - Bella! Usually the kids are well on their way south by now. Does it surprise us that a daughter of Ella would be contrary? 🤣 Nice to see Bella has her great-grandma Princess' "crown" even if just this year.

Radisson - work has begun on the roof of the Radisson. The nestbox has been stowed away until the work is complete at which time we will reinstall the box with new gravel ready for the birds' return next spring. Pandemic is onsite & suspicious of the all the activity.

Radisson - we are royally annoying Ella today. Yippeee (not). Have to clean out & move the nestbox so work can be done on the roof. Not much time to do the work before the weather changes so Ella & Pandemic will have to rely on the Radisson & Alt signs for a bit.

Radisson - Ella perched on the nestbox this morning. She's puffed up and tucked down on her toes, not really surprising given the cooler overcast weather this morning. We'll see her more often like this as the time to migrate gets closer ..

Radisson - had a surprise visitor this am - seems Ella & Pandemic aren't "empty-nesters" quite yet. That's Bella perched on the Alt Hotel sign (check the 📷 caption for how I know). She's survived her 1st solo adventures which (🤞🏻) bodes well for her on migration!

Radisson - Ella (on the T) & Pandemic (on the H) have been enjoying a very quiet afternoon on the Alt Hotel sign. Nice to see after their exciting nesting season! This is their chance to rest up & replenish their resources before they too head south for the winter.

Radisson - seems like Pandemic has decided to stop being camera-shy. Pandemic is on the H, Ella is on the N. Both are napping now after marathon preening sessions.

Radisson - Ella is making sure no migrating female takes a shine to her nestbox ... good for us as it gives us a wonderful opportunity to enjoy her company awhile longer.

Radisson - just as the rain started I spotted Ella tucked up on the Alt Hotel sign. She is able to keep an eye on her nestbox (my precioussss) and stay dry - for Ella that is a win-win.

Radisson - Ella has been hanging out on the box for the vast majority of the day. No sign of Pandemic or Bella. Bella, like lots of chicks, has likely already headed south. Usually the resident pair stays together for another month so 🤞🏻 we'll see Pandemic again.

Radisson - more napping for Ella, now on the box edge. There is a bit of a wind at the altitude of the box so she getting fluffed and buffeted some from time to time. She is a pretty bird.

Radisson - look who's doing a little remodelling. Ella has been fixing up the nest scrape, picking at the prey remains (failing grade on that task) & for the last hour, napping. No sign of Pandemic, but he could just be out of view. It's nice to see her up-close again.

Radisson - have been playing hide & seek (they always get to hide!) for the last week with nary a sign of anyone near the Radisson, then this morning ... the viewing angle is tough for a definite ID with this pair, but its definitely Ella or Pandemic. 🎉

Radisson - Ella & Pandemic on the Alt Hotel at dinnertime this evening (note the leftovers on other letters!) Haven't seen Bella for awhile, but this is normal. At this age chicks start exploring, closer to home at first, then further away, sometimes much further away.

Radisson - smoky here - this is what an 11 on the ten-point current air quality health index looks like from just above the Radisson nestbox. Can't be any fun or comfortable flying or hunting in, probably why the peregrines have been cooperating on camera today.

Radisson - cleaning of the Alt Hotel windows continues so I suspect our little family is sheltering in shady places nearby.
New cam view in the meantime - looking straight down on the west-side Radisson sign - in case anyone should come in to perch or feed.

Radisson - just when Ella (I think) finally decided the Alt Hotel wasn't to be avoided anymore, proof that work continues on the Hotel's windows. They are on the north side, perhaps they can clean the east side quickly & the peregrines can resume napping there.

Radisson - Bella is back for the night on the Alt sign. Didn't think there was a bird there but wondered about the missing "corner" of the A - a closer look with my zoom & I could just see her facial pattern - it is not as obvious as her parents' in the dim light.
