Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
moka:
Her panting reminds of my puppy when she was hot. Poor Princess, she needs a sunshade.

Very hot little birdie on the eggs right now. Princess is on the eggs with her back to the sun and her head pointed into the nestbox. But because she moved the eggs out a bit, what little shade in the box is out of reach for her at the moment. She's panting at the moment but she does close her eyes from time to time.
It is currently 24C in Winnipeg with the wind from the south 20-30kmh (no wind in the box, too sheltered). Sunset is at 2109 but shade hits the box about 1900 so only three more hours and they will cooling off. Low tonight of 8C and the winds are to drop to "light". Sunny and 25C for tomorrow, potentially a bit of rain on the weekend though so that should make it more comfortable for our newest arrivals if they get here by then.

So glad to see our birds busy with the incubation process. Looking forward to the hatching and being able to watch the chicks.
For comparison, they just finished banding the lone chick in Harrisburg PA.

I am so glad you are keeping us posted TPC :). I am not able to view the live camera at work either. :'( Darn firewalls. >:(

Princess is incubating right now but she's not lying flat on them so not sure if she's bored or if the chicks are starting to make noises in the eggs ... So far Mum has been doing some contortions while preening and then a little pebble-picking but all rather half-heartedly.
Ooops, spoke too soon, she changed position and is down further on the eggs now, but alert and looking around ...
