Radisson - 2011 / Ivy & Princess

[moka]

Great video, thanks tpc!

They seem to be doing more work on the west or am I dreaming?

[jadoo]

...if I recall correctly (no guarantee of that, of course) Ivy was the one who was very persistent about the West nest last year;  maybe Princess thinks it's her turn to choose the real estate this time...

Just came down from the roof, no sign of him anywhere. I can't see into the ledge, going to leave that view to Pam.

Hopefully she's just hunkered down in the sun and out of the wind ... best would be if she would move over and do the same thing in the nestbox when its in the sun, but I'm not too optimistic about that ...

45 minutes, still not moving much.  inner eyelids are closed often.

[Pam]

Twenty minutes, she's still hunkered down in the ledge - doesn't appear to be moving much (as in scraping).......don't see Ivy.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Nuts ...

[Pam]

well, they both just landed on the ledge together.  Ivy took off after a couple of minutes, and Princess is still on (i.e. in) the ledge......

Somebirdy was sitting on the "B" at HSC before 9:00.

10: 00 am - I just went for a walk and checked - they are both here.
One(male by size) is sitting of the east side letters, the other is sitting
on the south side letters.

Thanks Birdnut ... so long as they are there, they aren't on the east-side.  Might be trying to stay out of the winds.  Apparently they are suppose to die down later in the day, so hopefully we will see them back downtown this afternoon.

1000 hrs local

No one at the nestbox or the Hydro sign or the Rogers sign or ... going to have go hunting with the west-side skycam ...

My co-workers report that both were quite active on the east (both ledge and Sterling) earlier this morning. By the time I got here, only Ivy was left on the ledge.  Just now, he was having a meal on the Sterling bldg, but got chased away by sirens on Portage - took off east on Portage with meal in tow.  Don't see Princess anywhere.

[The Peregrine Chick]

Checked the record and both Ivy and Princess were at the box this morning but only for a couple of minutes.

If anyone sees her/them on the east side, please post a note ... I'm trying to get a gauge on how attached (or not) they are to the eastside this year.  Don't have the spycam at the moment, so y'all are my only "eyes" on the east.

Thanks

Somebirdy has been on the west nest ledge.....so I hope this is where they will lay the eggs. sure is windy this morning...yikes

Was in the downtown area for a dental appt. in the later afternoon. My dentist wondered why I had binoculars with me. LOL! After my appt., I walked around looking for any sign of Princess or Ivy, but no such luck.
