Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

--- Quote from: Gingerlee on June 23, 2012, 10:56 ---Just got back from a fledgewatch stint of a few hours. Dennis & BCCS were already there & Cooper joined in a while later. The top of the parkade was the perfect spot to watch yellow bird on the ledge of the MTS centre. When I first got there, Ivy was on the i of the Manitoba Hydro sign & Princess was sitting pretty on the b. Red bird (her little highness) was on the nest box with transmitter bird on the ledge. Swallows would do fly bys tryng to harass yellow bird but other than watching them, he just sat there calm cool & collected. To be able to be that close to a peregrine falcon was more than I could hope for. Yellow did some flapping of the wings & we would think he would take off again, but most of the time seemed to be quite happy either snoozing or walking the ledge. When I left Ivy was back on the roof of the Radisson, Princess had been on the tower but then took off towards the river.

Any sightings of white boy yet?

A little earlier there was a food drop at the ledge, nobody was terribly interested. :)
