Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[bccs]

Anyone could have seen # 6 and not known it. They fly behind buildings, land on roofs and just play hide and seek. It would be rare to see all six at once, but it doesnot mean anyone is missing.    Big breath now gcg, 

Training should be, if not already started.

Gee, timing is everything.
I went out for a long circular walk - past east side Radisson, down Portage, past MTS, CityPlace, Rogers and Hydro from about 9:50 to 10:20 and didn't see any of what you folks saw and I was searching.

But in the last ten minutes (10:10 to 10:20) I stood at northeast corner of Convention Centre and watched somebody circling the Delta Hotel. Lazily circling up and circling down. Lots of colour, so at first I thought it might be one of the kids, but quite accomplished-seeming and relaxed flying, so I don't know who it was for sure. But I suspect that's number 5 of 6 accounted for if Mother Hen saw the others at about that time.

Has anyone seen 6 of 6? Forgive me, I have a very bad habit of overacting. When will the parents begin food drop training?

You got that right! I wasn't using my calculator!

As of 10 minutes ago, ivy was on the T of the Hydro Bldg, east side.

Bccs, it's always interesting to read your reports, interesting to see how each of the birds has its own favourite "perching post". Any idea where Princess is hanging out this year? I gather she's kind of deserted the Sterling Building.

She seems to be favouring the Radisson sign on the east side now. It seems that since that no chick is in the nest box, both are spending more time on the east, rather than the west. Hydro Bldg, Rogers Bldg seem to be favourites for the parents too.
Ivy and Princess still like to keep an eye on the kids, so if you see a parent, you can be sure that the kids are not far.
The kids like the dishes on these buildings as well as cityplace.
