Hurricane was calling or yelling, must of been to get Brooklyn to relieve her because she left and he showed up PDQ  I guess she wears the pants in this family.  ;D...
LOL! Like mother, like daughter! Takes after Princess, I guess! Hurricane squawks "Jump" and Brooklyn squawks "How high?!" ;)

She's loud so you may want to turn down the sound.

Brooklyn is very careful not to step on the eggs when Hurricane comes to relieve him from incubating.  :)

I love this video that you've posted, rcf! :-* It's so good to see Hurricane gather her eggs up so carefully and that they are all under the roof cover. :)

That's a great clip RCF - he certainly did tip toe over the eggs. Also amazing to watch the care and precision by Hurricane when she was getting all settled.

The camera angle and sound is wonderful - you can even hear the pebbles move as she was getting all cozy.

Guess we're lucky. :) No rain over night and only one ml fell yesterday but maybe a shower or two this am and then clear. :) Have to plant potatoes this am so it better not. :)

What a great shot for TPC's caption/previous post, RCF.
Nice to see Hurricane relaxed and dry.

2100h
Hurricane is sound asleep, head-planted into the gravel with a perfectly dry corner.  Only a little ruffle of her feathers in the wind nipping around the box and absolutely no water dripping, drizzling or running onto her like it is for Princess.  The light is still good here but I'm not sure which way the Winnipeg storm is travelling ...

2106- Hardly any rain in Brandon so far today, no thunder storms and at this time of the evening the sky is partly clear so birdie in the box shouldn't be too wet if any. :)

The Environment Canada website shows you will probably have rain later tonight but there are no watches or warnings or anything for your area.  Looks like this year, Hurricane and Brooklyn might the ones staying dry  :)

Looks as if it's raining in Brandon right now. At least Hurricane is not getting too wet, under the cover of the new nestbox. :)

RCF definitely has a gift!  8) Thanks for the great pics, C.  I sure to miss my spot on the parkade.  I'm having Peregrine withdrawals.  The closest nest to me now is about an hour away.   :(
