McKenzie Seeds - 2012 / Brooklyn & Hurricane
The Peregrine Chick:
1323h
And he's off again ...
The Peregrine Chick:
1315h
Brooklyn's back and no scary noises, he might have been checking on Hurricane ... she tended not to return to the nestbox much in the hours before laying an egg - when she was ready, she returned, hung out for as long as needed, then napped a bit (not surprisngly) then was off again.
The Peregrine Chick:
1312h
Brooklyn is off again ...
New camera angle for a few minutes ... have switched to CBC viewer to "see" if I can hear if anything is going on ... so far, all quite, just background sound, no peregrine noise ...
The Peregrine Chick:
always a question of timing ... ::)
And its Brooklyn back on duty ...

Had a little putter through the recording for this morning and its mostly been Brooklyn on the nest, Hurricane seems not be settling for more than an hour before she's off again. Not sure, but he might have been on the night shift as well. Could be that she's got at least one more egg to lay and that's what's got her unsettled. Or it could be the new neighbours. There didn't seem to be any problems last year, but its early in the season and every one is hopped up on hormones (sounds like an exercise program) and so the twitch factor is a bit higher than usual. At this point, the eggs should be okay. Later on, if its sunny/warm, the adults can leave the eggs for extended periods and from our experiences with Madame, they don't come to any harm - Trey turned out pretty well :).
