Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess
ballywing:
Tracy - your blog for 'The Day After' is magical. Like Poetry. - I admit I felt a little resentment at the beautiful sunny day, 'Oh well thank you very much but it's too late for that!' type attitude....Was very busy all day, and by the end of the day was able to talk about 'Black Friday' without tearing up every 2 seconds. (Phew!)...After reading your blog late last night, it put a little ray of sunshine in my heart. :D...It reads like a fairy tale. 'Princess & Trey defy all obstacles, challenges & tragedies and rise again.' ...Keep watch Tracy, we'll be waiting for news of our feathered friends.... :) :)

Good Morning Phanatics,
Yes it's still morning even here in Ontario in the blazing heat. I've just read through this thread that deedream started and thinking how beautifully written deedream's words are, "Yes I think we were all sitting in front of the screen worrying about Tracy and her teammates, how they were coping, and yes if anyone had seen Trey or Princess." I know I was. As I was saying to a couple of people in personal messages I don't how it is that this family in particular snuck into my heart and held on because I've watched other webcams and never gotten this attached emotionally. I think part of it is because having witnessed the hatching, something rarely seen by humans, and yet something so intimately precious. Was even going to write about my excitement at seeing such an event on my blog and call it magical moments. Then when Black Friday hit, it's because witnessing the birth, then the news of the death hit so hard. Moonstar touched on something I too felt, I checked in on the elk river chicks but it just wasn't the same. With each passing day I feel a bit better, my heart is still sad, but calmer on the outside. I know some people who know me in my life know how much I love birds but if they knew how I reacted to Black Friday they would think I've totally lost it for good this time. The few who actually knew totally understood, one friend even called yesterday to check on me. I feel like I've made some new friends through this forum, it feels like this forum has become like a extended family of the Peregrines, Princess and Trey and the 3 little angels. Doreen you touched on what I was thinking about asking Tracy before I even logged online today. I was wondering how long does it take for an egg to be produced after mating has taken place. In closing for this rambling post I must saying I am feeling more hopeful now having read Tracy's blog last night then I was feeling yesterday morning when I got up.
Doreen:
Good Morning all
Now even as I continue to read the post here, and yes continue to cry. I'm wondering what could be in store for us next! Tracy, if by some chance Princess and Trey have another clutch, when could the hatch date be? I'm not sure how long it takes to mate, and how long before the eggs come. Could she if she wanted to, have mated lets say yesterday( I know probably not) could she lay eggs in 2 weeks, 3 weeks a month? I really don't know, and if this were to happen then the chicks would be ready to fly in Aug or Sept instead of the usual Jul? It's usually still nice here in Sept so this could possibly be our next scenario right. Boy do I think to much! I'm smiling and hopeful at the chance to enjoy the family again this year.
Always hopeful and forever glad we have
a chance to watch these wonderful birds up close.

The Friesens:
I believe you all have expressed our feelings for Trey and Princess as well as Tracy and the teams exactly on target.
I will continue to come here to watch for more news on our couple. I am so thrilled that you found them Tracy. I was hoping they would come back to the Radisson despite the loss they just had. Yes when I read your post the tears again began to flow for their(our) loss. But I thank the Lord they(Trey & Princess) are okay.
Thank You again Tracy for allowing us to be a part of this, the ups and the downs.
God Bless you in your dedication to the wonderful creatures.
Thank You also to everyone for sharing your thoughts.
Moonstar:
Very nice post Deedream.
You said it very well.
I tried watching the web cam in Minnesota but it is not the same.
Princess, Trey and the chicks were like family (don't know how else to put it). It was just more personal watching them and pulling for them.
Friday was a very sad day and all of us in this forum will remember the little darlings forever.
Take care everyone.
