West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules

[bev.]

hope all is well.

had an earthquake on Quebec Ontario border that was felt in Toronto and Ottawa,

Rains are all probably part of a huge system moving through.

Thanks for the update on Beau & Jules and their 3 little ones!

hopefully with the ending of the severe thunderstorm watch in Winnipeg Jules and Beau will have an uneventful evening with their family

Thanks for the update TPC, I love hearing about them!

Jules and Beau and the kids are doing fine - she's moved them all a bit more under cover but not fully so she is still getting very wet when it rains.  The chicks are fine by all appearances, eating lots and being kept dry and warm.  At this point we are half way through the very vulnerable first 10 days - after 10 days the chicks can thermoregulate on their own and are therefore much less in danger from the kinds of rains we've been having - they will also be more mobile and should walk themselves out of the rain which means Mom will go with them which she'll figure out keeps her drier too!

Thanks for the updates, Tracy.

Thanks for the play by play TPC!  So glad there is sunshine for them today.  What a stressfull two or three days Beau and Jules have had.

Always appreciate the reports.  Thanks!

1220 hrs (local) - they were fed about an hour ago and are now sprawled out uncovered in the nestbox shade.  Jules was acting as their umbrella up to a minute or two ago so now I have a full vew of the little chicks in a pile half in the sun/half in the shade.  They are getting more active now and have able to move themselves onto or off-of each other depending on if the sun is out or not.  There are some big cumulous clouds showing in the edge of the cam image but they look more white than dark and there is still lots of blue sky.

Last weather report from Environment Canada says no rain today but chance of rain (30%) and perhaps thunderstorms tomorrow night (not sure of the pop).  Tuesday looks to be rainy but back to sun Wednesday and Thursday.  Think Jules and Beau have the "keep the kids dry" concept worked out so don't really have much concern about that anymore.

Tracy, your descriptions are captivating. I feel like I can actually everything that is happening.

"msd" you are having a tough evening.   Think the rain has stopped to a degree so at least Beau and Jules "may" have a more pleasant evening.  Will look forward to the sun for them and us tomorrow
