Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess

[RCF]

Geeez.........Princess is sure gnawing on the roof, maybe Ivy should bring her something to eat.

What an exciting week with four new falcon chicks!!  Love the sounds when Princess feeds her quartet.  Where did that egg-shell come from, didn't see it all day then suddenly noticed it this afternoon!

I saw the feeding at noon today, and was also amused by the way the provider (who seems to be a smaller bird) got unceremoniously chased off. Was as if the sitting bird (forget their names, bear with me) was saying 'get lost, I know how this works.' Also just saw the nesting bird fiddling with the metal flashing just above where they are all sitting. Must get boring - and hot. She looked like she was panting.

You can't see her  very well in this shot but Esmeralda is being fed at the front of the chick pile.

Love the shot you posted earlier, 2kawaii.  It is wonderful to watch each chick, smallest to tallest get fed.
Go, Esmerelda, Go!

Dad has been busy this morning brought in a second serving!  Love the way mom chatters with encouragement to "eat up". 

I agree, Ellie.
Of all things the audio has allowed us to hear, this is my favourite. 
Princess really does have some lovely dulcet tones!

Ah #4 got some food from Mom. Now they are huddled back together, sleeping.

It's kinda funny watching them feed the chicks, dad gets the food, but seldom gets the chance to feed them, Princess usually grabs the food and feeds them herself, I can't remember, Was Trey chased away as much at this stage of the development?

Ivy Brings Lunch!!! -   - Then is very firmly shown the door by Princess   -
Chick TeePee with mouths wide open having a nice snack! #4 in back this time, having a little trouble getting a turn....I hate when that happens... - come on little one, don't give up!

[Kinderchick]

Ivy just arrived with a late lunch and Princess quickly snatched it from him. Another feeding and lots of hungry cheeping sounds.

Third mealtime ... Esmerelda seems to be right up front so she should get her fair share. 

The Kinderchicklets were able to see this feeding at school today! They were very pleased!

  The Radisson Royals are again a family of six.  It was well worth the wait for each egg laid and Mom and Dad taking turns keeping them warm until Princess let it be known, "Hey Bud, this is a job for a woman". Thank you again to TPC, Dennis and Eye-Spy for making this possible for us. I enjoyed "watching paint dry, Dennis". LOL

[Ellie]

Had to go out so just checking in now.......all is quiet on the home front!!   That is good.

hey wpgfan, if you turn up the sound you can hear when a feeding is comming as Princess gets very loud and a differnt tone.  That is how I catch the feedings if I am somewhere else or doing something at home.  Just a suggestion.  it is amazing witht he sound now, when on the computer i MISS VERY LITTLE.

I noticed that too therefore I was able to watch the feedings. This morning, when I was in a meeting then the feeding started ......... everybody turned around and looked at me........after listening to my explanation about the peregrine family....I got to share the web cam. It is amazing to see that people almost instantly touch by seeing and hearing about the birds.

Had another small feeding and Esmeralda was up front and Mom paid particular attention to her getting food.  Four little heads popped up and ready for food.

You can't see her  very well in this shot but Esmeralda is being fed at the front of the chick pile.

It was amazing! I saw the whole feeding. Little Esmerelda seems strong for such a little chick.

Princess is so gentle and careful with her babies. She took itty bitty bites and made sure everyone was fed.

Ahhhhhh! beautiful.
