Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

<< < (882/999) > >>

The Peregrine Chick:
Carly's Peregrine Dating Cliff Notes are very good ... and though we haven't seen point 7, things that we have seen could be points 1 through 6, they maybe only one of each.  If Princess and Ivy are "at it", they have been very very quick - quick as in almost from the moment he arrived!!  If they getting a "jump", they are ahead of schedule ... Princess' has been laying egg three progressively earlier since 2007 ..

2007 - April 27
2008 - April 23
2009 - April 22

As for how long will she wait for Trey - had a look back at the records and he returned on ..

2006 - can't find the exact date (yet) but I think end of March again
2007 - March 27
2008 - March 31 - this was the year Ivy came to visit
2009 - March 23 - ahead of a major US storm & about a week earlier than usual

So technically, he really late or not by much.  I'm not meaning to give you all false hope, just a response to your question.  Think about last year, there were a couple of abandonned nests when "old" mates reappeared.  On the other hand, Princess could know something we don't ...

Technically, she can wait for another month without any problems raising their young before everyone needs to migrate - we had another year that was this late - fledging late July and all worked out more than fine if I recall correctly.  Can't remember if it was a renest, could have been, but it worked out fine.

REALLY want Trey to come back...like...NOW!! - but do NOT want a nasty fight between father & son..... :( - well I guess we just have to wait some more......no sign of anybody today as of about 10 min ago. NOt surprised, it's HORRID outside - Rain, Cold, Wind -  YUCK!  >:( - Maybe they're hunkered down in the West Nest - that's one good thing about this year so far - the Luxury Westside Condo seems to be the choice of residence - no need for Tupperbins this year!!  ;D

bev.:
just a note to CArlys post at Gulf tower. the female Dori, did incubate the eggs yesterday and at times she does appear to be ready to lay eggs. a nest ot watch at present. Of course this one here  is key :-* :-*:-* :-*

If Trey comes back there will be a fight for the nest. you can only hope for the best situation or if not far along Trey will just chase Ivy away. But Ivy is older now so would imagine a fight.

In Ft. Saskatchewan a few years ago, the new male and resident  female had 3 eggs and the old male came back and ran off new male and did accept the eggs.  and young were hatched. (we had a transmitter male here and that is why the theory is starting to show that they migrate back later)

Sorry to talk about other nests here when you are all chomping at the bit. i am jsut giving you different scenarios.
As for not being here posting a lot , I am awaiting our peregrines and watching to make sure ravens do not make a come back. ::) ::)

I have long ago learned that as attached as we become , it is about the survival of the peregrine species.(does not mean I do not shed a lot of tears over them)

ballywing:
Heading to work for noon  ::) - will check the West Nest on the way by & see if anyone is there.  :)

msdolittle:
Oh what crappy windy weather we have today.   Strong north wind, not sure how that would be for flying into winnipeg.
