Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
1730 hrs (local) - Princess is cleaning and just gave the camera the dirtiest look up-close-and-personal. Chicks are sitting in a pile-o-sun while she is working her way around to the front of the nestbox - looks like she likes to work clockwise around the box ... If I can, I'll see about capturing the video ...

TPC has been asked that many times - We believe the answer is ...."Nope"!!!! ;D :P

Tracy has a hard time sleeping, her toes are too small to grasp the branch for too long and she often falls... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
susha:
So nice to see some blue sky! I don't blame Princess for not trusting Mother Nature yet - still lots of clouds blowing around up there! :P :P

The May 8th Free Press article says it's one metre by one metre - but it looks more rectangular than square (but it could just be the angles and my lack of size/depth perception). What portion is sticking out and what portion is covered?

The box is about a metre square, most is sticking out and visible on the skycam, the part undercover is maybe a third of the overall box.

--- End quote ---
Princess took off, Ivy came in and hung out with the kids, then Princess returned with dinner and Ivy sat on the edge of box for a minute before leaving. Right now, Princess is hunkered down on teh chicks at the far end of the box but still undercover, don't think she trusts Mother Nature yet ...
The Peregrine Chick:
1700 hrs (local) - dinner for the family in the box, followed by a little uncovered time and now Princess is back on the chicks but looking out and crouching so the chicks are definitely getting a bit of sun on them right now - we have sun breaking through the clouds and shining into the nest box as we speak.
Hopefully the beginning of much much more drier weather!!
