Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
dtdunlop:
Hello Tracy.
I noticed your update today that if weather permits tomorrow morning (18 June 2009) you hope to get the little fuzz balls banded. I am not sure if this will be the first time the banding process has been tried at Trey and Princess' current nest site or not, but was wondering if you planned to have a number of "catchers" posted on the ground around the nest site?
The site is a lot closer to the ground than their 'room with a view' was on other years. I thought that being closer to the ground, and related noises, the three little ones might just spook more easily and hurdle that framing wall around their nest site without even realizing it. Their gliding skills at this stage are probably about as good as those of a wet paper towel, so having some people ready to keep them off the concrete might be worth considering.
I saw a chap in Seattle a few weeks back do this with a nest full of ducklings. Shouldn't be much different for peregrines, although I am sure they would be a bit fiestier.
Keep up the great work!
DT

I'm like Holly-Birdeze -- not wanting to miss a minute but looking over my shoulder to make sure nobody's looking over my shoulder! Ah, the difficulties of balancing work with life!

Yes! Thank you to the camera person who zoomed in for some close-up shots of the baby chicks eating a tasty meal this morning! ;D It happened right as the "Kinderchicklets" were observing the chicks on the digital projector in their classroom - and right in the middle of their filming and interviews with Mr. Mike from CBC-TV. So don't forget to watch for us tonight, on the CBC "News at 6"! The chicks in the nest ledge and the "Kinderchicklets" in their classroom were flexing their wing/arm muscles in unison!!! It was a sight to behold! ;D
