Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
bcbird:
I'm guessing that Esmerelda was the smallest of the four chicks, maybe not quite caught up yet.
Once again Ivy got some snuggle time.
He gave a few squawks of protest as Princess arrived, but as she stomped over to him he quickly got up and left.
Mouse:
And we got a rather graphic view of the whole bird, the vigorous plucking of feathers and a hungry Princess eating. She shared her lunch with her enthusiastic babies . :o

Looks like another shorebird for lunch!! Ivy sure is a great Dad when it comes to providing food!!!!!

--- Quote from: The Peregrine Chick on May 28, 2011, 21:30 ---...As for the band, couldn't tell you want species it was but it looked bigger than the plover Eye-Spy suggested. And not enough bands on it - plovers tend to have combinations to indicate where, when and at what age they were banded. Actually, I can say for sure it wasn't a plover, the feet/legs were too big, but perhaps not too big for one of the small rail species but I don't know if anyone is banding them as part of a study somewhere - or was banding this one...

I was wondering if it was a Piping Plover too, but I guess, as you say, TPC, we'll just have to wait to see if any of the local ornithologists respond to your query.
des:
Just curious - how long do you think it would it take Ivy (or Princess) to fly to OHM, as the peregrine flies of course?
Care to give an estimate - let alone catching, killing prey, then returning?
