Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
eagle63_1999:
We have a feedling and it is quite windy up there today. I can't hear the chicks very often as I am hearing impaired, even with my hearing aids and the sound turned up as loud as it will go. But I can sure hear Mum when Ivy brings food.

Ivy just came in. Mom must be eating off camera.
Ivy can barely cover the back of the chick pile. They look so much bigger when compared to their dad.

Oh I know,I've watched for years, still think its especially yucky when the carcass looked like the head of a bird half propped up, and it was in my line of vision to watch the little ones. No problem if I can put it in my peripheral vision. LOL

I can hear and see the rain dripping from the box top edge. Whoa, I think that was a lightening flash! Yes, there's the thunder. Sounds like a good bit of wind, and now a real cloud burst.
I see a glimmer of white breast and with another flash, can see Princess is alert, with her wings slightly spread to increase the shelter room underneath. Her front and the chicks under her are out of the rain.
What a miserable night of weather in Winnipeg! Hooray for the nest box and the maternal instinct to protect her young.
ESP Chickita:
Thanks for all of the greetings! My class loved hearing them as did I. I am planning on having the website up on my Smart Board tomorrow all day as my class is as anxious to catch a feeding as I am! We will try for first thing in the morning for sure. My class is a grade 4/5 class and they have loved showing the website to other classes in the school - I love hearing them use words to explain such as "shuggle"! What an amazing educational experience - for all of us!
I sure hope this nasty weather doesn't affect the little ones - and we sure cannot believe how fast they have grown.
Thanks Kinderchick - luckily I can get the website all of the time at my school, so we will be checking for breakfast!
