Okay, some conflicting wind numbers - forecast for today is 30 km/h, gusting to 50 km/h. Oddly, the conditions at The Forks (a few blocks away from the Hotel) show a wind speed of 9 km/h, and that sure as heck ain't 9 km/h blowing Princess and the kids right now. At the Airport the wind is currently reported to be 28 km/h but it doesn't show what the gusts are, but I imagine we are probably pretty close right now. The birds have weathered 20-30 km/h winds before this year, so I think we may be seeing the worst right now. Once the winds pick up, the adults do tend to get better at staying tucked down. And the chicks will be okay for short periods of time out from under their parents if it happens. And they are partially mobile so they can help to get themselves back under when/if it happens. The adults will want them all under, so no one should be left stranded for long - it will just seem that way to us.
