Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess

[bcbird]

Princess is also letting the chicks have a bit more air.  She has her tail to the camera, but  seems to be standing up enough  so I can see the chicks jostling under and a bit in front of her.

Another feeding going on.  Not sure yet who it is!  lol..  (My apologies TPC for not realizing whom was doing the feeding earlier)  Oh, okay,, it is Trey, feeding is over, may have missed a bit, but Princess a much bigger bird with a crown on her head, lol, came in, and ... well Trey said ok my job is done apparently.  Princess now on the chicks tail to camera.

The chicks are only half covered by the parent (still Trey?)  Not much wind, so is it finally warm enough for a bit of supervised open air time?

[The Peregrine Chick]

Missed?  Heck I thought he was going to stuff the little darlings so much that we'd have baby-go-boom.

It was reassuring to see the food dragged in a circle around the chicks, as it seemed Trey was making sure no open beaks were being missed.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Ah, sorry gang, that's Trey with the kids - he did the feeding too.

well just after my last post, Princess decided enough was enough, she has taken the remains and flew the coop. Chicks look like 3drunken sailers holding each other up.  Well I am guessing they do having never seen drunken sailers!  Oh,  Princess is back,, time to brood her little ones, looks like a good time was had by all.

Princess still feeding her flock. Have a very very graphic view of what supper consists of, be grateful if you are not watching.  Chicks getting bigger by the minute.  I don't notice any wind either, maybe it has died down.  You know this is probably the longest time I have seen her feed them.  Well over 10 minutes. She keeps dragging the remains around the chicks in a circle, standing on it and tearing chunks off and feeding, there are all sure getting equal portions tonite with this set up.

Hey I am back!  My goodness what a long feeding.  Trying to watch 2 cams plus read and  catch up on all I missed.  But Princess been feeding those chicks for quite some time.  Just noticed that it is a really large bird, (supper is that is) as large as the chicks are.  Someone may have mentioned this before.  Its like half a carcuss,  one side type thing, I know Lorianne, you were thinking of what to have for supper! lol  Well maybe we will all become vegans out of this.     Too cute, very good view 3 chicks, group hug and Mom feeding all.  She is literally standing on the "food".  We need spell check for this! Please don't hate me, guys and girls.

Princess finally turned to face the camera. For the past while her head was out of camera range and her back was to the camera and I couldn't tell if it was her for sure. She just got off the chicks and went for a bit of a stroll to the area on the other side of the vent. It looked like she was picking at the pebbles there (maybe for some left over tidbits?). Now she's back brooding with her side to the camera. The wind is blowing her feathers up a bit.

Another feeding is happening, it appears to be Trey with his back to the camera but 3 little heads can be seen from time to time vying for their share of food.

Something just had our resident parent's attention, I think it's Princess brooding the little ones now.

I know there is the urge to post here because it is where most folks are viewing HOWEVER, everytime you do, you add more posts that folks have to read through later to get to the stuff about the Radisson Chicks.

If you have general comments post in the Peregrine Room.

If you have specific comments about another cam, post under that cam in the Other Peregrine Cams.


I will be moving/removing posts that are not applicable from this point on ...

I have three cams going at the same time, the Radisson birds, the Ohio banding, and the Minnesota birds. Needless to say I'm not getting much work done today. But its worth it, being able to see these birds is amazing. Anyone who isn't watching the Ohio banding should tune in!

[The Peregrine Chick]

From the back and based on size, looks like Princess.  Sorry
