Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[bccs]

Well, if msd and des see five, then Aura has fledged.     Never would have guessed that it would be today  

Great spotting you two.

I'm sure it was aura, there was no boubt we counted 5 birds.  The only thing des and I did see on the nest box was some leaving that went to the rogers building once. Don't know if it was aura or someone visiting

[Jazzerkins]

The ledge and box seem empty.  Any way that Aura has already fledged this morning?? Especially if they see FIVE birds and as far as we know Isis has not be released yet.

Des and I are on the parkade behind the rogers building.  One adult on the manitoba sign, 2 on the rogers building and 1 on the citi place roof ledge.  Pretty sure the rogers and citi.  Crap, now there are 3 on the rogers, one on the hydro and one on citi place.  5 birds

Can't believe how many people stopped to talk to me last evening while I was in front of O Calcutta with my binoculars watching the family.  They all had lots of questions about what I was doing.  When I explained, many borrowed the binoculars so they could take a look as well.  Several copied down the info so they can go on-line to keep track of these beautiful birds.  I figure we picked up at least a dozen more people who will be involved in this site this year and in the future.  At this rate, everyone in Winnipeg will be aware of the Recovery Project!   Will go out again this evening and hopefully see Isis again trying to perfect her flying abilities.

Moonstar, there should only be 5 birds around downtown because I don't think Tracy has put Isis back in the nestbox yet. I think she's still in Rehab with Lisa. Here's what TPC posted yesterday....
"...she will be returned to the Radisson on Friday. I do not however know what time, we both have commitments and we are going to find a time to make the exchange at which point the little miss will go back to the roof of the Hotel and the nestbox."

Thanks for all the updates this morning, bccs and msdolittle! Hopefully, today won't bring as much drama for the 2 of you! Webcam's going wonky this morning... switching back and forth btw. 4 views. Must be that glitch the Eye-Spy has been working on.    Poor guy, nothing but headaches for him when this happens!

[Moonstar]

I do not think Aura is in the nest.  The camera's are switching between them and there is no site of a bird unless she is under the camera on the ledge.  She must have fledged. 
Hope she is not on the ground some where.
Can you girls see 6 birds?

[msdolittle]

Two adults on the hydro building, one on I and one on the b. One what looks like larger juvie on the rogers building roof.  There was tons of flapping when it went there.

Ivy was giving one of the boys a bit of a workout, swooping, chasing and making the kid learn some new stuff. One juvie on the round dish on the top of the Radisson, I doubt very much that it's Aura, she still hasn't been exercising her wings enough.
We saw Ivy having his breakfast on top of the o on the Rogers bldg.
Msdolittle and Des are on the street right now.

Not too much in the way of wind, but the clouds are rolling in.

Strange things going on with the cams. It jumps suddenly from an empty nestbox to the ledge (no bird) and then to the test pattern . It is ongoing. I suppose TPC and Eye-Spy are looking into this. If you watch it long, it makes one (me) feel dizzy. Hope all goes well today Msd and bccs.

[msdolittle]

We don't know.  She's probably laying low per her usual

[Moonstar]

Does that mean that Aura left the nest?

[msdolittle]

We can't see a. Bird in the nest but there is a rather large juvie on the roof of the redisson.  Plus there were 3 flying together.
