Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
Kinderchick:
My apologies for the late post after fledgewatching today. Had a few errands to do on the way home and then after logging on, had to read through the Radisson posts in order to report back any info to des and Jazz, who were still fledgewatching downtown. Then had to feed my 3 pets, who were chomping at the bit for their supper. ::) Sometimes real life gets in the way. ;)
What an interesting way to spend 7 hours and how fast the time passed! :D I arrived in the downtown shortly after 7:00 AM, to be greeted by Dennis, Jazzerkins and des, on Portage Ave., across the street from the MTS Centre. Was able to see Fyfe, who had landed on a lower roof and was either standing still or walking around a bit, that is, until a handful of crows decided to surround him and harrass him. When that occured, one of the parents, although I'm not sure which one, came out of nowhere and began to swoop down, dive bombing at the crows, in order to scare them off and protect Fyfe. That was spectacular to see and Dennis snapped many photos. Can't wait to see them! :D
Shortly after that, susha joined us and we all went over to the parkade that TPC referred to in an earlier post, because Fyfe had moved further back on the lower roof and was no longer visible from Portage Ave. Then TPC joined us for awhile, giving us all some very sound advice, should we encounter a chick down on the ground level (which, thankfully, we didn't). :P So we spent the next few hours keeping an eye on Fyfe, with several of the fledgewatchers walking around, checking out various spots to see if they could locate Carson. But no such luck. :(
I will continue my report later as my husband is now waiting in the car for me... ;)

I think one is Ivy, you can only see his back and tail in the nest box. :)

Ivy, take good care of your babies. This has been a stressful day for me. I can't imagine what this day has been like for the fledgewatchers. ::)

:o I hope my eyes have deceived me, Cade was poking somebirdie and then the bird turned and flew (fledged)????
Do not know if it was Beatrix or one of the others. 1530h Did anyone else catch it? :o :o
False alarm, it was not Beatrix. I wonder who it was?????????
