If Ivy weren't the resident male here, I would say "no" but he quite happily comes "inside" when he wants to get out of bad weather. Unless Princess is laying eggs or on/protecting the egg/schicks, you can't get her inside the box. Have never been able to get any of our other adult birds to hang out in nestboxes during bad weather either. Made me count the birds twice last year when Ivy hopped in to join his 2/3 grown kids last year ...

We were in our boardroom and a huge plane swooped by a couple of times - second time it looked like it was going to hit the Radisson. We literally jumped out of our chairs.....

I went for a walk about that time and was at St Mary & Hargrave (about 2 blocks from the Radisson). . . it pretty much brought pedestrian traffic to a halt. Some of the other people around said it was a military aircraft and thought it was a Hercules. Not sure what it was about -but it certainly was loud!

There was a Herc swooping back and forth over us while we ran the Air Force half-marathon on Sunday. Perhaps they were buzzing Portage and Main/The Forks in celebration of the NHL team purchase. They are pretty loud.

It did look like a Herc....man it was sure close to the nestbox!

It still sounds very gusty in the nest box! Can't see a thing.

Ivy is no doubt, close by, hunkered down in a sheltered spot, awaiting the command of his Princess should she need him (for a snack usually). I think that both parents are aware that it's Princess with her experience and her wide girth that provide the best protection for the chicks. ;)
