[Rose]

Bright and sunny here today but the wind is still pretty strong from the north east, but whoever is in the nest will be in the sun Finally

Brooklyn is asleep on the eggs right now.  There is wind fluffing him but he's not tucked tight into the corner and his head is not buried in the gravel so he's not uncomfortable.

Right now its 6C and cloudy and the wind is NE 45 gust 59 km/h.  Tomorrow is forecasted to be sunny with a high of 14C.  Wind from northeast 30 km/h so the birds will be a bit breezy but should be much nicer with the sun and warmer weather.

Looks like Brooklyn on the eggs in the nestbox but the light is going so that is more guess than surety.  The bird has its head tucked into the corner of the nestbox and they have their tail velcroed to the gravel in the box because the wind is blowing at a fair clip from the northeast.  The tail is too low to get caught in the wind but the feathers all up the back of the birds' body are getting blown up.

Tonight - Overcast. Wind north 30 km/h. Low plus 3.
Friday - Clearing. Wind north 30 km/h. High 13. UV index 5 or moderate.
Friday night - A few clouds. Wind north 30 km/h. Low plus 2.

I have family coming Friday, so today was a better day to go and that way I got to see one of the birdies.

Looks like Brooklyn and Princess are on the same schedule ... he's on the box, mostly sleeping.  No rain, almost no wind in the box from what I can see (which is a nice change).  Looks like watery sunlight on the edge of the nestbox unfortunately the box faces east so afternoon sun won't help out much.  All looks fine though.

Yes, I would agree that Brooklyn was in the box , Hurricane was perched on the south light at lunch time.

A little windy here but the clouds seem to have broken up and the sun is peeking through, bird on the eggs in the nest  should be happy

Brooklyn is on duty in the nestbox right now.  Not so miserable looking as he has been.  He's napping but not so velcroed to the eggs as he has been, more relaxed.  At the moment it seems as though the building is helping to provide a bit of protection from the wind. 

According to Environment Canada, the wind in NNW 28 km/h which is seems to be the forecast for the day along with a chance of rain this morning.  Suppose to start clearing up tomorrow with temperatures rising to 19C on Sunday, 20C into next week.

Hurricane is sitting pretty on the eggs here - no rain and she's all bright-eyed and looking out and around.  Apparently the wind is suppose to come up and come in from the north as the day wears on, not sure if the building will help to block it or not but we'll keep an eye on them.  May be another day of "draught" in the nestbox.
