West Winnipeg - 2009 / Ivy & Jules
birdcamfan:
Great work all!
carly:
So glad you were able to them out Tracy and sorry about the lost egg, I hope they have a successful hatch this year. At least now they may have a better chance and you will be able to monitor them whenever you want without disturbing them.
You guys are great ;D
allikat:
Awe...poor things.
Let's all hope that this one egg Jules and Ivy have hatch! If not...they have a nest tray for next year. Baby steps...and it's an invite for them to nest next year! Positive thinking here folks!
The Peregrine Chick:
Dennis got some wonderful photos folks don't let him fool you. And while Dennis was snapping pics, Larry and I were busy installing a nest-tray under the eggs and a camera so that we can check on the eggs/nest-tray without having to access the site every other day - access isn't convenient and we don't want to scare the birds off the nest any more often than we need/needed to.
Anywho, Jules watched us for a little while when we arrived but didn't hop off her eggs to berate us until we actually started to install the camera and the nest-tray I did the box, Larry handled the technology. Jules took to the new tray after checking it out very (very) thoroughly. We also installed a little shield to provide her with a bit more privacy which might help her to not leap off the eggs whenever she gets spooked. We hope this will help her as a first-time mother in a less than ideal peregrine nest site. She got back on her eggs eventually (or it just seemed like eventually) and settled down to incubating.
She's pretty protected from the wind - certainly from the north and east, so that's a help. They are now down to one egg, we found the third egg on the other end of the nest-site ledge with a concave break on one side. Can't tell how long its been "out" but its definitely gone.
Dennis and I have some photos on our cameras, not sure when I will get the first of the cam images, but will post them all when I can.

I'm sure TPC will be posting soon...did show her a couple of photos that I captured. Perhaps it was the wind or the sounds of motors running...think she said "is that the best you got" ;) :P
Cheers !
