Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
Think chick 2 just dropped onto the Bank of Nova Scotia ... if chick, then by size it is Tenzing and Hillary is up on the Paris Building ... will keep an eye on them ...
The Peregrine Chick:
Okay, Princess is on the Radisson sign, chick is on the Paris Building but can't tell who it might be, Hillary or Tenzing, and it looks like Ivy is on the domed roof of the old Bank of Nova Scotia - I can see facial markings clearly which since the chicks are gold and brown means it has to be an adult and I'm assuming its Ivy based on how close they are to the Radisson.

... oops, chick has moved across the street to the old Bank of Nova Scotia Building (now Vital Statistics I believe) .. and I think perhaps the other chick has turned up on the Paris building ... lights not quite right to confirm but will keep an eye on it ... definitely 3 peregrines parked within a few hundred metres of one another right now ...
The Peregrine Chick:
1029h
Haven't seen Princess in ages and here she is sitting on the Radisson sign looking around ... will take a swing around to see what or who might be within camera range.
One of the chicks is sitting on the north side of Portage Avenue on the top of the Paris Building ... chicks looks just fine sitting there ... definitely what Princess is keeping an eye on ...

These chicks are two weeks late fledging so we are usually done fledge watching long before now so it was inevitable that we would run into holiday times. And besides fledge watching is really that, watching the chicks as they fledge. In terms of "protecting" the birds, more than 1/2 the time we get calls from non-fledgewatchers - the public, bldg managers, rehabbers, vets, the police, etc), 1/3 of the time we get a report of a dead bird and the rest of the time fledgewatchers are close enough to provide very timely and usually live-saving assistance. So when we have fledgewatchers it's a wonderful bonus but often, even with fledgewatchers, it's up to the chick and luck.
I should report that in talking with others south, east and west of us, this has been a late year for pretty much everyone - the North Dakota birds are 4 weeks off their usual schedule if I remember correctly. So we are most certainly not alone!!
