West Winnipeg - 2010 / Beau & Jules
The Peregrine Chick:
1410 hrs - Jules just stepped out fo the nestbox for a moment and in came Beau to watch over the chicks. Poor guy, he was really bewildered about what he should be doing ... would she be gone long enough that he would need to brood them, what the heck are these round things blowing about the box, why are the white things wiggling ... at which point Jules came back, check the tots out (not like they could really get up to anything in her absence) and now she is stuffing them under her again. Its dry at the moment but the wind is up and she gets fluffed and buffetted abit when she's standing. When she tucks down on the chicks s/he are more protected from the wind because the box itself is recessed a bit.
1411 hrs - Jules is off again, chicks are in a wee pile out of the wind. Usually means she is off to get some food, hopefully she will be back in a minute or two ... so long as it isn't raining, they will be fine for a few minutes ...
1412 hrs - Beau is back and just as confused though he is getting stuck in there now ...
1413 hrs - Jules is back, Beau is off. Jules is attempting to stuff again ... if she could just get the little darlings more toward the middle of the box it would be so much easier for her to get comfy ...

TPC, great description of how it goes with feeding very new chicks by first time parents.
