Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
1750 hrs (local) - second (or eighth) dinner underway ... one chick not so hungry as the rest, think its the little demon that snatched the food earlier :D
ballywing:
And now ANOTHER meal!!! :o - Thanks for the close-up TPC!!! ;D - the guy in the middle is a little piggy! :P
carly:
Zooooom Zooooom! Nice closeup for feeding :-*
2kawaii:
About 5 p.m. one of the parents shows up on the ledge. Hops along and then down onto nest area and picks up a "leftover" of the ground.
With about a minute chicklets go from "comatose pancake power nap mode" stampede on over and say "Hi, there Mom/Dad. What's that you got?".
First one there swipes the leftover from Mom/Dad and tried to run off with it (a small repeat of last evenings performance). Tug-a-war ensues with parent. Parent wins and begins tearing apart the leftover and starts doling it out. Doesn't last long though, it was only a small piece. Parent flies off.
Within about two minutes, a parent (the same one?)comes back with a "real meal" and begins defeathering. All three chicks are right there, in parent's face "feed me, feed me".Mom/Dad can't rip that bird apart fast enough for them.
By 5:15 pm this meal is over!
Jo:
The Kinderchiks asked about banding and there is a very informative response from Tracy - she talks about the previous bandings done on the ledge.

They have some really good questions. Yet another section of the forum I just discovered :)
