Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[The Peregrine Chick]

Days like this I would love to have a thermometer in the nestbox ....

[Kinderchick]

Yes, Moka! I think he's saying: "Princess, get your tail back here! I need a break!"

[moka]

Ivy looks like he needs a shift change. He's gotten up, looked around for Princess, come back to the eggs, sat on them and gotten right back up. Now, he's cleaning. Right in front of the camera. He's back sitting on some of the eggs but only half-heartedly. His mouth is open and he seems hot. Now he's standing over the eggs, looking around.   Princess, WHERE ARE YOU He seems like one frustrated peregrine.

[Kinderchick]

Ivy appears to be quite restless at the moment. Keeps getting up and down, off and on the eggs. Also appears to be doing alot of yacking and looking around outside the nestbox. Perhaps calling for Princess as he must know hatching will be soon!

Some might say nay, but we here know better.

It is very exciting watching eggs incubating, and nothing like watching paint dry! 

Very funny bcbird!

[Kinderchick]

There goes Ivy, pecking away in his corner again! It's as if he's bored and needs a little "tidying up" action in the afternoons!

[Kinderchick]

It looks like there is some debris in the nest. Can anyone identify what it is?
Leftovers?

Yes, baffled, that debris appears to have been there in the nestbox for a few days now. On Monday or Tuesday, I commented on it. At first I thought it could be a chick but then it occured to me that it was probably "leftovers", as bccs has suggested.

Looks like birdie parts to me baffled.

Must be something pretty interesting outside, he keeps looking outside the nest.

I saw that too! Ivy cracks me up!

Maybe he see some weeds that need to be removed!

[Kinderchick]

Are those "pips" I see in some of the eggs or just the afternoon shadows?

[Gale]

If anybody needs a "chick fix" have a look at the Elk River site. Theirs hatched on the weekend.

[Kinderchick]

There goes Ivy, into the corner again! LOL!

I saw that too! Ivy cracks me up!
