I'm not sure if they still do, know that that year there was a special celebration, 100 years or 200 years of some such, could have been the reason for all the ringing.

Even when it was Madame, she wasn't particularly tolerant, that's why it only happened once and it was very very stressful on Burnsie.

I guess Princess wouldn't allow any other pair to nest there,
now that she is queen of the castle.

Female was Burnsie...Neither have we had any reports of her Basilica chicks.

She had chicks at the Basilica?! :o With all that bell ringing?! :o That's amazing! :o

Female was Burnsie, captive-bred bird released in Brandon in 1990.  She was T-Rex's mate out at the University (1992-94) and when he ditched her for Madame and the Radisson site (see there is precedence for Ivy's behaviour), she hung out at the University with a Radisson sub-adult male at the University in 1995, she took a sabbatical year in 1996, nested with Ja, a 1994 Brandon male, at the Basilica in 1997 and then didn't try her luck again but rather hung out quietly with Trey in 1998. 

We haven't had any news of her since.  Neither have we had any reports of her Basilica chicks. 

At the U of M, she had 5 hatched chicks and 5 foster chicks.  One is famous - Winnie was paired with Zeus in Omaha, Nebraska and is the progenitor of Husker, Doorly and a few others ... check out the Omaha thread for more information on that family tree.  Of her other 9 chicks - only two others have we had any information about - both because they died.  Both were captive-bred foster chicks, one was killed (aircraft strike) at a New York airport, the other was found dead in the Dominican Republic - both on their southward migrations.

Kinderchick:
So I guess you don't know who this pair was, at the Basilica, or do you? :-\ Were they a banded pair? ???
