Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess

[Leana]

6:30pm  Everyone is awake now and a whole lot of wingercizing going on.  Tried to catch a snapshot but all I got was blur....

6:20 pm... 3 boys snoozing in the pseudo shade at the front of the balcony and the girl sitting up and surveying the domain.  I just love watching them observe the big world out there.  It's so cute now that they can see over the edge of the nest box!

They are so brave - it sounded like a noisy aircraft overhead - the chicks were looking up and one of boys was screaming at it. What ever he said worked, it went away.

One or both adults was on one or another tower (Radisson) most of the day, same for yesterday.  They looked like they were shouting at something/body on the roof......

[Jo]

Everyone is on the 'balcony'.  . .never mind . . . our young lady just when 'inside'.

One of the boys is laying down in the corner on the bottom of the screen - had I not seen him walk over and settle down, I don't know if I'd realize it was him.

Lovely sunny afternoon.

3 of them out on the 'Balcony' now - one doing some wingersizing! - Great view of the dark feathers, soon all that white fluff will be gone!  ........Well that was quick, they've now gone back inside - looking for shade!

[Jo]

I can't watch from work (but can access the message board) . ..got a report from home that one of the parents has brought lunch and is feeding the chick.

Finally one of the kiddies has come out to play!!

I keep checking but haven't seen hide nor hair of anybirdy all morning...

I too, have been logging on and have not seen anybirdie until now. Briefly, just briefly I saw the tail feathers of an adult bird. Must be lunch time in the shade. When our family has a picnic, we too, pick a shady area.

I am so glad the bumper crop is doing so well.  

Just voted for my 2 favorites. i did not read properly and was trying to vote for 3 boys names

On viewing right now ,outside is shown and no one there. Must all be inside.

TPC, I am delighted that you selected pioneers and key people in the environmental movement for names for our falcon chicks.  Worthy chicks, worthy cause, and worthy history. 

Tracy, I know this'll never happen, although many would want it to be so, but we should have a "Tracy" in those list of names.

Just saying...

Glad y'all like the names, wanted something a little different this year.  And thank you for the kind suggestion Susha, but I'd feel terrible if the little tot didn't make it ...     Maybe sometime in the future, or if an unnamed bird came back ... like Cowboy

TPC, I know the Kinderchicklet Campaign thread was locked down, but do you have any updates from Kinderchick about how the kids are doing? Last year, it seemed that their collection grew almost daily, and I'd be interested to hear how it's going this year. Year after year, the kids are just fantastic! (P.S. Way to go, Kinderchick -- encouraging children to have such enthusiasm about something they're learning is a wonderful achievement!)

I do and I have a better internet connection right now so I will post the most recent update from Kinderchick and her 'Chicklets!

After a mad and loud feast, our princes and princess are chatting among themselves and nibbling on leftovers   Such a beautiful family.
