Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Rain is phishing (as my grandmother used to say) down now but the wind seems to not be an issue for the kids right now - maybe from the west now so the Hotel is blocking ...
Two up on the vent (the little boys), our lone little girl in the north corner. Everyone seems to be trying to sleep - eyes closed everywhere and no extraneous movement.
Poor wee sodden chicklets ... :'(

The chicks still have alot of natal down (a second downy layer that comes off as the flight feathers come in) but so far they are smart and staying out of the wind and up against the wall they don't get as wet as other places on the nestledge.

I am not sure it looks kinda like a shorebird. But I could be totally off base.
