Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
1514h
Not sure where she is at the moment but both the male (who I'm pretty sure is Ivy) was just in the box and she was in a little while ago - will check the recorder and slow down the video and see what we've got on for band numbers. At normal speed the image is just being shaken too much to even guess about the band number but we will keep working at it.
He's back on the north side sign of the Rogers Building ...
The Peregrine Chick:
Looks like the north side Rogers sign is going to be the favourite roosting spot today given our south wind - both bird are sitting pretty and preening at the moment ...
The Peregrine Chick:
1229h CDT
The Rogers sign (north side) has now become the Rendez-Vous Sign! Female is on the last S, male is on the circle logo at the other end. Just a minute ago there was some very adept aerial canoodling on the "S" given that according to both the Forks and the U of Wpg's weather stations the winds downtown are 46km/h with gusts to 60+km/h.
Last night Ivy (and a second blurry look at his band still makes me think its him) was starting to make scrapes in the nestbox, so unless Princess gets back in the next few days, we may have a new pair at the Radisson ...

Male popped into the box, turned around looking for someone (anyone?) then popped up onto the box edge and sat there for a minute before literally getting blown off the box edge. The camera is shaking like its filming an earthquake with the south winds we have right now so not sure how a video clip will turn out but if its half-way decent, I'll post it on YouTube later today - it's a cool sideways flying exit from the box.
That has been the only visitation so far (it's just after 11am now) but perhaps if the sun will come out and the wind will drop or even if just the wind drops, we might get a visit this afternoon - they really do like the box when it is in the sun in these cooler temperatures.

That was the female with the black/red band - she's been the most frequent visitor in the box since she arrived on the 30th. Yesterday she was the only one in/at the box but today she had a male with her - and I don't think it was Ivy, I think perhaps it was Cowboy - the facial pattern was different from Ivy but it did look like Cowboy I think.
Could be we might have a new pair at the Radisson ...
