Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
ballywing:
Yes Whitehorse, it seems it's always windy here - and depending which way the wind is blowing, the location of the DANG nest ledge can become quite the wind tunnel. At least it's sunny and warm-ish today though! 8)
Whitehorse:
Poor little perigrins! I thought Winnipeg had nicer weather than that! Is it normally so windy? Doesen't sound like you are getting much better weather than I am!
Thanks for the updates Tracy, glad to see they are doing ok so far!

The Peregrine Chick:
1123 hrs (local) - Trey does not like facing south. He has tried to turn around twice now and gotten blown off the eggs both times (great handstands!!). Now he's backed them into the corner and he has his tailfeathers well tucked up against the building and almost in the corner. He's going a bit lower than Princess but that may be because he's easier to flip, or he's just had enough and plans to sleep through his shift. Either way works I guess.
I do have some screen captures, will try to post later today, have work to do first ....
The Peregrine Chick:
Forecast -
Low today was to be 7c, currently it is 6.2c. Wind has shifted to the north, 39km/h, gusting to 52km/h currently (gusts forecasted to 60km/h). Curiously enough, Environment Canada says the wind is NNW at the Forks (not far from the Hotel) but I'm not sure of that - the cam doesn't usually move this much (as I recall) when the wind is NNW. Anywho, temps are suppose to steady out at the low (we're there!) but the wind isn't suppose to diminish to light until this evening. Temps start going up on Tuesday and continue through to Sunday with some maybe rain on Tuesday, less maybe rain on Wednesday - nobody is estimating amounts of precipitation so probably not much (<1 cm/0.4 inch)
Just for interests sake, remember the rain on the 13th, poor wet Princess and all that ... 24hr total was somewhere between 38 and 56 mm (1.5-2.2 inches). She got wet, eggs stayed dry, gravel drained without problems. Just as a relative scale for future rain events ...
