Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Hey Doreen,
The best way to tell Princess and Trey apart is to look at their heads. Trey has a full black cap. Princess has some lighter coloured feathers at the back - makes me think of a crown which seems appropriate. Also, she has a few white feathers over the bridge of her beak which Trey doesn't have, but you can't always see them clearly. You can also look at their breasts but with the wind they are sitting flatter and it can be harder to see clearly. Princess' speckles run almost up to her chin. Trey has a full white breast.
Don't worry Doreen, it takes some practice but you'll be able to tell them apart at twenty metres by the time the chicks fly!

This is a short video of Princess on the nest. For those who want to check out her "crown" this video shows it well.
I will likely post a few videos when I see something interesting.

Well, it looks like the rain has started...let's just hope its not too hard...and very brief...
BirdLover:
Now why didn't think of that? :-[ It's still raining here but not as hard, however, we still have winds 37 gusting to 53. Boy the birds here must be quite wet and hanging on beak and claw. LOL.
