West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
Saoirse:
This is great news to hear, TPC -- I've been thinking of Beau and Jules and their little ones. Knowing that both are new to parenting, it's especially good to hear that they've been managing to keep the chicks fed and covered.
The Peregrine Chick:
0925 hrs (local) - blowing like crazy around the nestbox - this roof is windy on gentle breeze days so its been blowing some all night. The box is recessed some (think Tuppernest from last year at the Radisson) so unless the adults put their tails up at the box's edge, they are able to tuckdown and out of the wind. They haven't moved the chicks back further undercover but the babes are still very young and the adults are equally new at this game. But they are velcroed to the little darlings and all is going very very well at the moment. They have fed the chicks once for sure this morning and the most recent shift change was very slick (am downloading video of it and will put on the gallery in the next hour).
Beau and Jules may be getting wet but they have managed to hatch out three chicks and so far so good. Another 24 hours and they will have at least a few days of much better weather - even Monday with 60% chance of rain is better than today's wet & wind. Upside ... rain and wind gusts are forecasted to taper off this afternoon.
Will also see about capturing a few still shots and posting them here on the thread ...
