Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

[SuzieQmb]

I've had the webcam running in the background at work for a while now, and the most I've seen is 3 birdies.  Anybody know where #4 is?

Good thing y'all can't see all the cameras - one of the chicks just decided it wanted to sit on the louvres and jumped up about 2ft, clung onto the louvre flapping its wings to keep it stable then dropped safely down to the ledge.  Heart-stopping 30 seconds.  Mind you, crazy idea but good aim, strong execution and nice landing. 

Like this kid did yesterday  http://youtu.be/Pid8ZFn145o

...poor dad (or whoever that was) - so unappreciated!  Flies in with lunch, and it's just "Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee" then ignored...

Video of that!  http://youtu.be/PtOzIJs7hVg

...so what would you have awarded him?  9.25?  9.5?  (remember, Olympics are coming up... )

Too funny jadoo, I was thinking the same thing - you just beat me to the typing

So... a favourable sign for future success?!

All four chicks are still at the nestsite - one on the ledge, two on box edges and number four cruising between the two locations trying to make up his (probably) mind about who to hang out with.

Thanks for the update bccs.  Terrible timing to lose the camera... I'm sure there are many of us biting our nails imagining what might be going on but having no idea!

As of 6 am today, 2 on the ledge by the camera, one on the edge of the nestbox looking out at the sibs.
I met up with Dennis, we went to the famous parcade to see if the fourth chick was anywhere, but didn't see anyone.
Ivy is on the O on the Hydro bldg, snoozing.
So we figure that the fourth one is in the nest box, just not visible.
Ivy was too disinterested and Princess was nowhere to be see ( or heard ).

Thanks for all the great video and pictures everyone!  Haven't been able to watch
much today so these are so appreciated!

Also thanks TPC and Dennis for the updates since the camera went black!

This is from earlier this evening, one of the Radisson boys (yellow tape on band) wandering up and down the ledge in the rain.

All the chicks are tucked down in the nestbox, no heads showing above the edge of the nestbox.  I suspect that they are all plopped down together as its a bit cooler tonight.  The were all outside when the light left, so they are probably sleeping outside tonight - they'll probably stay out unless it starts to rain.

Cam's gone black - rotten timing!  Anybody else having problems viewing?

Darn! Webcam has gone black for me too.   Hopefully the chicks are tucked in for the night, but we could have a fledgling by tomorrow morning, given all the action today.
