Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Update from our Fledge Watch Ground Forces
- female still on the nestledge - starting to look more interested in following after her brothers but too dopey to figure out she needs to close her wings during gusts of wind - hopefully she'll learn quickly
- male 1 is on the ledge with his sister and is fascinated with something going on down below
- male 2 is the the fascination down below - he's on the window ledge of the nest ledge feature - for those of you who haven't seen photos of the Radisson, this little triangular feature is a window in a meeting room - the window looks northeast so you can see Portage & Main from the Hotel. The window is on the side we can't see - and there is apparently a ledge wide enough for a peregrine chick to walk back and forth on - new one to me, can't even remember there being a ledge there - and certainly not somewhere either of the adults has ever tried to roost on ... Don't know how long he'll remain there but their flight skills are greatly improved so he can get off, perhaps not gracefully, but he can get off if/when he wants to ...
- both adults are circling around overhead
Ground Forces continuing to patrol the area - thanks Debc52, LinderLou, Sami & Bccs (and Pam and Mother Hen from their offices!)

I am going to put times on my posts because before they get posted other things have happened
bev.:
lost all my pictures but she was flapping like crazy. she kept stumbling, so I thought, but she was flapping with prey on her talons.
they all did that.
2 are there on ledge.
Male went to corner at 7 and then up on ledge at 1 and now missy is up on ledge to his left.
A few days yet for her I think unless she flaps a lot more today and tomorrow
Saoirse:
She has better nerves than I do, for sure. After that near mishap with the wind, there she is, perched on the ledge as though nothing happened at all. And I'm still trying to get my heart to stop racing!
luvwatchin:
Wow that was quite the gust of wind! One of them almost went for a tumble!
