Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
susha:
I'm trying not to be worried about our soggy princess...after all, the eggs are fine and moms sitting on eggs go through this all the time. Princess has certainly been through lots of stormy, cold, wet weather...but she seems to be breathing more heavily than usual... :-\ Or am I just imagining things, TPC ???

Does Ivy bring her food, or does she wait it out in rainy conditions?

Ivy will bring her food but only if she asks for it. In such rainy conditions she may be unwilling to get off the eggs at all. Not that the rain should harm them even at this stage but its possible she knows her kids will be talking to her soon and she's not going to take the time.
Just as a note, it is 2057h now and going back through the recordings and except for an approximately 2 inch adjustment at 1659h and she has been in this same position since 1300h. That is a) velcro, b) dedication, c) a waterproof seal and d) begging for a wicked cramp or two. The camera is shaking in the wind, but she has herself tucked into a good location and seems to be pretty sheltered, not entirely out of the wind, but pretty good for an open ledge.
Rain is forecasted to stop about 3am then a 70% chance of rain next Saturday (25th) and a 90% chance of scattered showers on Friday (31st) but both those days are a long way off but at this point it does look as though this might be the last really wet weather Princess and Ivy could have for a week, maybe two.
