Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
Kinderchick:
Oh, this is so wonderful! :D Do I see all 4 chicks back in the nestbox or are my eyes deceiving me?! :o

I was down to Portage Avenue between 2 & 3 this afternoon. Second time today. I had legitimate business down there I swear, although I did take rather circuitous routes to accomplish the tasks (that just had to be done in two trips!)
Saw no fledgewatchers (do you guys really go??? just joking - I love reading your reports!). But I did have a great time. All four chicks at the box (3 in and 1 on the ledge). And for the first time I heard one of the whoop whooping (yak yaking?). It was quite loud over the traffic noise. In fact at first I thought it was one of the adults over head - but no, it was whichever chick was stationed on the left (when looking from the street) corner of the ledge - just a cacking away. It was thrilling! Then he /she started such vigorously flapping that I though he or she was going to take off. I couldn't decide whether this was a good or a bad thing. I would have loved to have seen a chick flight, but then I thought about the really strong winds and figured the poor thing would be swept away. I had visions of Sami racing out into traffic and realized I was the only one (that I knew of) watching and panicked about what I'd do. I saw a girl walk by with a butterfly net and almost snatched from her (it was a flimsy thing that would have been no use at all!). Thankfully birdie popped back in the box!

--- Quote from: ShoeChick on July 06, 2010, 16:59 ---I understand that Princess & Ivy like to hang out on the HYDRO letters on the building. Does anyone know what side of the building these letters are on? I've never noticed then before, but based on the comments I think they may face East towards the nest box. Is this correct?

Oh great view birdcamfan!! - Too bad we can't Zoom in !! - The building with the 2 black dots on the roof level is the Radisson. (The 2nd big building past the Hydro Building.) And the nest ledge is at the bottom of the black dot on the left.......does that make any sense ???
