Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
White may be the only fledge today, Yellow doesn't seem too interested at the moment, and chances are, he will be less interested as the day goes along (generally that is the case). The girls most certainly won't go today, they have more muscle and coordination to build. If one of the girls - it would be Red as Green hasn't even been wingercizing much yet - does go today, if she ends up low or on the ground, she's definitely going to get checked out, fledging too young often results in soft tissue injuries - pulled muscles and the like, which for a bird is a big thing if one intends to fly ...
GCG:
Thanks for the update, TPC. We thought this would be the day. Brother and sisters sitting at the ledge watching what is taking place. I am hoping for a successful Independence Day fledge for all the Royals. We'll certainly miss our daily cam watch. Awaiting the latest update. GCG
AnimalLover:
Goodmorning and thank you for the update I thought I seen one of them take off this morning when I came on but still half asleep I was not sure. I am happy he is allright and there are watchers keeping an eye on him.
The Peregrine Chick:
0715 hrs (local) - Bccs, Des & Dennis report first fledge. White tried to make it to one of the parents sitting on the "B" of the Manitoba Hydro sign (on, of course, the new Manitoba Hydro building) but didn't quite have enough lift ... came fluttering down and safely landed on a lower building. The FledgeWatch Gang is currently keeping an eye on him from a nearby parkade. He looks uninjured but he does have work to do (which he has started at last report) to get himself up higher. We aren't interfering at this stage as he has a series of low (<4 ft) hops that he can use to work himself up .... we'll see how he does .... and yes, the parents know where he is ...
Kinderchick:
2 chicks sitting on the ledge, 1 chick just inside the nestbox. Can't see the 4th chick right now. :-\ Heading downtown shortly, to join bccs, des and susha. :)
