Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Hey Mother Hen, you made sense, but maybe that's just because I know ya ;) (just kidding of course!)
I suspect we could have eggs anytime this week. They returned together this year - a week later than last year for her, a week earlier for him. Even if they took a week off to recover, they should be getting down to business in the next little while. Last year the first egg was laid on the 19th of April, so just around the corner. There were no eggs in the box on Saturday but both birds were on the west side for the morning, then she wandered off until after we were finished while Trey hung out on the nestledge vent. Haven't seen them with the spycam today, but I haven't been online as much today as I was on the weekend (real life again). The weather was wet yesterday and today so they may just be keeping a low profile.
As for Princess' feathers, nope, she only moults single feathers at a time as she needs to be able to continue to fly and hunt in order to survive. All birds can "puff" up the feathers and depending on the temperatures, wind, rain and emotional mood of the bird, they can go from hefty to svelte in seconds.
Keep an eye on our expectant parents tomorrow for us!
Mother Hen:
Didnt make sense of the last sentence I wrote. What I am hoping is that they will nest on the West. and that is why I have not seen much of them........When approx will that be Tracy?
Mother Hen:
Hi Folks Yes I am working and I have been looking BUT I have not seen anyone since Thursday afternoon. Princess was sitting on the edge of the nest at that point in time looking out.She seems to be losing her feathers?? Could that be or just a little heavier after the winter. I can relate to that.
I have not seen the two of them much last week so when she decides to lay those eggs they will be safe.
Pchemist:
you should try RainX. it helps water sheet off glass rather than spotting.

No sign of either bird on the east side of the Hotel. And its raining. I just finished cleaning the darn environmental dome on the spy-cam and it rains and I'll have to put up with more "spots" - like the dishwasher detergent add :'(
Don't know if anyone on the west side of the Hotel is working today, but if you are, peer out your window for us!
