Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess

[Baffled]

I give up I have no idea how to post the photo. Darn!

Feathe2Fin, go to the "how do I post photos" board under the "Forum" board right at the top of the Forum hompage. Instructions are posted:

Hope this helps!

Hope I can figure out how to post a photo. 

Once a year a peregrine visits us where we live in the Osborne Village.  I assume that it is likely a Radisson Falcon but who knows.  It could be an HSC falcon.

I give up I have no idea how to post the photo. Darn!

Wind is blowing "Princess" about but not much, think between the building and where the vent cover is now the adults get more protection from north/northwest winds.  And she has tucked the eggs up right against the wall so she doesn't have to keep her head fat to keep from getting tossed off the eggs.

As for the rain and snow, not the first time for Princess if it's her.  And honestly, getting wet and cold serves her right for choosing the darn ledge.  The eggs should be fine even if they are uncovered a bit, they are water-resistant and it isn't really cold, just the potential to be messy.  The adults are going to pay for it more, but hey, they chose the view.

Rain & Snow & Wind predicted tomorrow..... here's where the fretting begins wtih no shelter on the East Ledge - Hope 'Princess'? & Ivy took their vitamins over the winter!! 

[The Peregrine Chick]

It is definitely spring here finally - it is warm enough that even in the shade, the eggs are uncovered and I can't see the adults.  I'm sure they are around, they are just not parked beside the scrape or ledge.

What good news, a healthy mama, four eggs and incubation has started

[bcbird]

Very nice to hear that our female is in good physical condition. 

Not bad for an older gal, if indeed it is Princess!

Thumbs up on the four eggs!!

Our female was sitting on the east side "slash" but still not close enough for me to see her bands.  She looked good though, first time I've had a decent chance to look at her.  She's been on the eggs for most of the day but they are uncovered at the moment and yesterday at 6pm we still had 3 eggs, today we have a fourth so we are moving along just the way we are suppose to, or rather the peregrines are 

Thank you, TPC for this update. Hope that our fertile female allows you to place a name for the forum. This is going to be a difficult year for you, Eye Spy and Dennis.

Our Princess, if it is her, has never been an easy going, eager to please falcon. Here's hoping she let's you get the info we're all waiting to hear. 

[The Peregrine Chick]

Well, here's hoping that with the nice weather that is predicted for the weekend, "Princess" (or whatever PF it is) will show you her bling, TPC. Sure would be settling to have her positively ID'd.

She let me look at her for awhile this afternoon but she was too far away to see her bands.  She needs to be a few letters closer to the camera.  Tomorrow's another day ...

Looks like incubation is underway, a bird (Ivy I think) is still on the eggs on the nestledge ...

Oh, how exciting!   

[The Peregrine Chick]

Donations are of course, always welcome.  We are having to rethink some of our plans for this year, and there will be expenses that is for sure.  And if we have extra funds, they will be used for new or repairing nestboxes so good works all the way around.

But back to the birds 

Confirmed that Ivy is still our resident male at the Radisson this morning.  He was preening in the sun on the sign while "Princess" was on the eggs below.  And he showed me his band and I managed to get a screen capture! Very cooperative of him ... hopefully at some point in the next little while, she will be as obliging.
