Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess

<< < (73/311) > >>

The Peregrine Chick:
Both chicks are still on the ledge - the parents have been by with food a couple of times this morning and the chicks have been playing "king of the drain cover" ... male has been moving about on the ledge edge very comfortably but not alot of wingercizing so far, perhaps a bit too cool this morning to get him interested in flying?  At the moment, it almost looks like the male chick is lying down and female is on the drain cover and I would have thought it would be the other way around.  Just can't tell by the way they are perched/lying who's who for sure right now.

Winds are from the north and west today which will mean the ledge is more sheltered but they are breezy/gusty and stronger than they have been for the last little while.  If the male (or both) were to fledge today, don't know if the wind would play a part, depends which way they go and if they decide to keep moving or just park themselves and wait to try again later.

The Peregrine Chick:
Weather for today & tonight ...

Day - Overcast with a chance of rain. High of 23C. Breezy. Winds from the NNW at 10 to 20 km/h. Chance of rain 60%.
Night - Partly cloudy in the evening, then clear. Low of 15C. Winds from the WNW at 10 to 15 km/h.

We had a severe thunderstorm watch overnight for much of southern Manitoba but it ended at 0416h. 
Thunderstorms are still expected in southern Manitoba this morning but they are not expected to be severe.

Kinderchick:
Nothing like lounging on the ledge in the "bathroom"! LOL! :D Love the close-up!

The Peregrine Chick:
Awwww, the Radisson chicks are being too cute ... she is lying down on the gravel by ledge edge where he has been sitting for the last little while.  Now he has decided to lie down on the edge right above her and he has his head hanging over the edge above her.  Since they are being so cute, I've zoomed in for awhile ... I'll zoom out again if I have to go away from the computer in case they move ...

Jazzerkins:
Nice close-up[s Tracy.  Looks like they are having a conversation.  Very cute!  :D
