Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

[RCF]

I'm very glad to here all four chicks have been accounted for..........Yaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!! 

[Kinderchick]

It certainly is reassuring to know that the four are so close to each other, and no doubt Princess and Ivy have an easier job when the fledglings don't go off in different directions.

After fledge watching last evening, I just had a feeling that the fledglings were all still in close proximity to the Radisson, since Princess & Ivy spent most of the evening either perched on the roof or tower of the Radisson, or flying around very close in the area above the Radisson.

The roof runner was looking over and talking to his sibs on the ledge when he was first spotted or shortly thereafter, so yes, they know he's there and he knows where they are too. 

It was funny watching roof runner shuffling back and forth between the two shaded roof spots, until he decided which one was better.

OK, so TB is actually GS, or maybe Fleet.  While sitting on the box edge, he was often looking up.  can he see his brother on the roof edge?

Roof brother was tucked in the shade so not sure transmitter can see him, but he sure would be able to hear him.

or maybe Hart or McDermot (if those are the three male names that win  )

Having just caught up with all the exciting/excited posts of the morning, I'm glad to see a very calm TB in view up close on the box edge.  I can almost hear the flies buzzing from here with all the debris.  Lovely view now of our sleeping Miss Red inside the nest.

What did I miss?!  From CBC web page: "2:25 and as two chicks tried to take the same spot on the ledge one got knocked off. Went down at a pretty steep angle"

Nothing has happened to R and GS - they are both at the nestbox - he's on the edge, she's inside.  There is a chick up on the roof edge as well.  Not sure if the sign chick is still there or he has moved to a shadier location.

Left my computer for awhile to do a bit of paper work. Does that camera view show a juvie tucked in, with just a few tail feathers sticking out, or is that a food stash? LOL! Can't type fast enough to keep up with the movements of these birds! Now I see the 2 juvies. There goes RG, chewing on TB's antennae again! LOL!

(it will be nice to have the names to use as of tomorrow ....)

I second whoever's suggestion it was that our first fledgling (affectionately known as Transmitter boy or GB!)  should get the name Fleet.  Seems appropriate for the first to go!

And on that note, TPC, how do you decide which name goes with who for the 3 males?

I think alot of people plus myself agree with you Suzie that the first male bird that took off should be called Fleet, but I guess we will find out tomorrow.

Thank you, ballywing.  I can see two on the ledge, so I kinda wondered... 

[ballywing]

- Hm, I wouldn't put much stock in that!
