Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[susha]

Great photo of the chickpile, TPC - definitely a one-of-a-kind shot.  Belongs in a frame!

I didn't check in all day - what a great surprise to come home and fine the Falcon Cam up and running (and not skipping).Thank you TPC & Eye-spy! Love all the description of todays activities.

I can't believe how big they are. Wonderful picture of the chick pile (# 24 page 2 for anyone who missed it).

Looks like the chicks have settled in for a nap with Ivy in the corner keeping watch.

What a happy surprise!  Came home, turned on the computer and expected to see the sky cam and voila!  Adorable chicks!  Watched the babies flop around - that little wanderer sure seemed to want the spotlight!  And that close-up of parent (Ivy?) was hilarious.  Looked like he was scratching himself on the camera lens...or trying to clean it...or eat it...

Thanks TPC and Eye-spy!!  The view is fantastic!

At this point, he's just standing at the end of the nest box, looking at the four sleeping chicks -- possibly thinking "how on earth did I get myself into this???"  Either that, or "Princess will kill me if I don't get them stuffed under before she gets back!" 

[The Peregrine Chick]

At this stage, with four chicks, Princess can still cover them, Ivy will have more trouble being smaller, and of course, inexperienced.  Trey could probably stuff them under, but Ivy's not quite there yet ...

[Doreen]

Not sure but I think that's Ivy.

[The Peregrine Chick]

What a beautiful day this has been watching the chicks. Again, thanks to TPC and Eye-Spy. TPC, Day 9 now, when can we expect the butt-scoot?

They are doing it now 

[Saoirse]

Three little chicks totally flaked out in a chick pile, but one wide-awake little guy is stumbling around, eyeing the camera as closely as he can. Can't tell whether it's Princess or Ivy on site, but whoever is trying to round up the stretched-out chick pile and get them under him/her. Oh yes, the little wanderer has stumbled back to the security of the crowd!

[Saoirse]

Ooops! First time I've seen one of the adults look really awkward -- I don't know whether she fell off the ledge into the nest box or what, but that's sure what it looked like. 

[Kinderchick]

Now this is the view we were all waiting for!

Yes, yes, yes! Right up close and personal!   Just wait till the Kinderchicklets see this tomorrow!  

[Saoirse]

Oh, falcons right in the camera eye -- first one of the chicks, then what looks to be Princess. She perched on the ledge for a bit, while the four little chicks lined up against the back wall (first time I've seen all four!). What a treat, after not being able to see them all day! Worth the wait, though.

[Doreen]

The one chick sure is active.

What a beautiful day this has been watching the chicks. Again, thanks to TPC and Eye-Spy. TPC, Day 9 now, when can we expect the butt-scoot?

[bcbird]

Yay, Ivy, having a proud new father moment.  Kids fed, and having a quiet time, able to look out over his domain, and no one bugging him to check the job jar.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Is it Princess standing guard on the edge?

Think it might be Ivy BCBird ... looking with the skycam, bird looks more trim than Princess ...
