Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
susha:
NUTS!!! I'm just glad that the kids are still eggs, being kept warm by their loyal dad and not-so-bright mom. (Sorry if it's you, Princess, but this year, Ivy has the brains in the family ::))
The Peregrine Chick:
Poor wee birdie asleep in the sleet/snow on the ledge - think it might be Ivy but its hard to tell because of the way the bird is curled up on the eggs. Checked the west side cams to see if anyone was hanging out within site and couldn't see anyone - couldn't see anything with the skycam, the rain/sleet has formed an opaque film on the environmental case so will have to wait until a) gravity kicks in if it is soft enough or b) it melts.
The nestbox is dry and snow free at the moment ... sometimes its hard to figure out what a peregrine is thinking ...

We are looking at it Ballywing but nothing while the weather is bad and nothing early in incubation so that the birds are fully committed to the eggs they have. In 2009, we put the tuppernest under the eggs just a couple of days before hatching. If we do the same this year, I would prefer not to cut it that close but we will see.
Kinderchick:
Yikes! Not snow again! Too bad for the people & wildlife in Dauphin! :(

Glad these birds are here and not in Dauphin right now.
