Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[The Peregrine Chick]

The oldest chick is five days old today.  By this time next week all four chicks should be able to thermoregulate for themselves so by next weekend, we should be able to watch all chicks all the time!

glad to catch a couple of feedings and I am glad all is well.

what a relief to know they under cover.

Have a great Weekend everyone

I may not be saying much but I am here

And a mea culpa from this morning ... we had two threads going for today's observations so they were merged so that no one missed a post!  I meant to post a note to that effect, but forgot!  I anyone was confused that their post was not where they left it  , that's the reason.

I was watching from across the room - so could be mistaken - but it looked like a shift change. Princess took the leftovers away and Ivy came back to keep the chicks warm for a few minutes. Princess returned shortly and sent him packing.

Princess did seem to make a special effort to get to that fourth chick. 
What a great mother.

Meal time! Ivy left and Princess arrived with a snack. Looked like either something small - or a small piece of something big.

Everyone seemed very interested in food. It was hard to see the 4th chick who was behind the others - but Princess was clearly feeding the un-seen chick.

They are such good parents and I'm so glad the nested in the west!

I think I see tail end of two little ones just poking out from under his chest.
He just doesn't have the calm settled down look that Princess is able to achieve.

This has got to be Ivy. When I first tuned in he was digging up gravel near the camera, then he fed them some leftovers, now he's trying to settle over them but can't seem to sit still. Ah, finally sort of still, no I spoke too soon, one chick or maybe two have popped out from under   All that in about 10 min!!

  Hi TPC! Thanks for answering my question about when the chicks will start motoring around. Though you said it will be awhile, I am definitely looking forward to their butt-scoot. I missed that last year. LOL, this picture I now have in my mind....... If I can speak for all of us in the forum, thank you for educating us and your prompt answers to our inquiries.

I noticed the little one who begs and begs and all of a sudden he is on his back......gotta learn to balance there "sonny"!!   So cute to watch!

Poor little guy, I think he fell over about four times.

Just watching a feeding - looks like the little guy at the back is having a hard time getting his share. He keeps falling over - lol .. hopefuly mom will notice & give him some attention..
