Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess
bccs:
shift change. Lots of chupping by him, even more yelling by her.
Took her all of 10 seconds to get the eggs under her.
bccs:
Ivy is on the eggs right now. A few minutes ago, I had a great big Trey deja vu.
Ivy started to re-arrange the gravel and was so intent on doing so that he got off the eggs and continued to move things around.
And then he came to and realized that the eggs should be under him. Funny as all get out watching him herd the eggs back under him.
Like father, like son.
The Peregrine Chick:
1230 hrs
Skycam is misty as is the nestbox ledge cam ... think there must be light mist/drizzle/rain downtown right now. Its still Princess on the eggs ...
ShoeChick:
Thanks TPC, I'll check out the video when I can pull myself away from the live cam!
Meanwhile, did anyone else catch the Squawk-squawk-chatter-chirping at around 11:07am? Was she complaining about the wind in the nestbox?
LOVE THE SOUND Eye spy!! It totally enhances the experience. I should also mention that this year's cam clarity is superb! Bravo!!!!!!!

Is that still Princess on the eggs at around 10:35am? I am trying to learn how to tell Princess & Ivy apart based on their feather markings. Is Princess the one with the large black spots below her eyes?
I'll read back through old posts to see if anyone has provided info on the best ways to tell Mom & Dad apart. If there is nothing there, could someone "in the know" please share your knowledge?
BTW - nice clean up job of last year's poop art!
Thanks all. . . .

Best indicator is size - she's much larger than he is. You can also look for some lighter coloured feathers on her head and speckles further up her breast but right now with the cloudy conditions and with them so tucked down on the eggs, not so easy to see. You can check out the shift change videos on our gallery (www.youtube.com/theperegrinechick) to see the difference in size and that might help.
There was a shift change at 0804 this morning - Princess took over from Ivy who had the early morning shift. I would expect her to stay on the eggs until early/mid-afternoon when Ivy takes over for a few more hours and she takes a break.
