West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules

[photosbydennis]

These West Winnipeg Chicks are a real family unit...for the past few day's they return to the nest box...cuddle up and call it a night !

[The Peregrine Chick]

2115 hrs (local) - all the kiddies have been back at the nestbox for the last 1/2 hour - sitting on the box roof and on the roof edges that surround the nestbox.  During the rain both the girls were napping on their tummies in the back corner of the box out of the rain.  They are very much still the three musketeers - one goes, they all go, one comes back, they all come back.  And none of the stealing food and nibbling on toes and beaks that was so very much the norm this year at the Radisson.  They are a very cute bunch.

1448 hrs (local) - two of the three kids are back in the nestbox keeping out of the rain.  Came scooting back along the ledges, it was very cute.  Not sure where the third one is hanging out, maybe under the box or its taking them a bit longer to come back along the "birdie high-way"

First day of fledge watch here. Nothing much happening, very little flapping, but lots of walking along the edge. The kids would yak their heads off whenever an adult was in sight, "bring me food ".  Saw a feeding, and heard the feeding, more yelling from the kids. .  Jules and Beau were around most of the time and he was doing a bit of yelling too.
Hanging out with Pam and Dennis, the best !!! They both took tons of pictures and I'm quite sure they'll be posting some soon.

Gee, sure would like to see them.......any photos somewhere?

...Any one who wants to know where the nest box is can call me directly, and I'll be happy to tell.

TPC, these updates are great! Although we can't see them, it's easy to visualize what's going on with your descriptive posts -- this bunch sounds very inquisitive and active. Fingers crossed for safe fledging!

Agree with Saoirse TPC.  Your updates give a good visual and they sound so cute.
Hoping and praying they fledge safely.

Kids are playing around and on the nestbox today.  Wind is so light this morning that one of the little darlings managed to jump from the roof up onto the camera that looks directly down on the nestbox - hasn't moved the cam any (thanks for making sure it was on tight Eye-Spy) but I can see tail feathers in the top right corner of the image.  One has decided to go run the ledges (not sure who though) and the other is just on the corner of the nestbox roof so I can see his/her shadow on the roof but only 1/3 of their body in the image.

Total babies hatched since the beginning of the program?

That is good to know....Does one want my personal email address to let me know where they are?? NO..Too bad

    TPC would skin me alive if I told, and I'm scared of her.

Ahh, yer such a wimp Barb.  Any one who wants to know where the nest box is can call me directly, and I'll be happy to tell.

Not a wimp, just want to live long enough to collect my pension
Really don't fancy being Heidi'd to death.

I wish these three all the best!  I'm crossing everything I've got!   

Now, listen up you three:  Allikat says to behave and be careful or else she's gonna get really really really mad!

Ya'll think they heard that?    

......Peregrines, they NEVER listen!

I guess fledging will be any time now.
