Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
We are starting to make plans for banding at the Radisson which because of the east side requires a little extra arranging. Right now we are looking at early next week and yes, I will be sure to post a date and time when we have it nailed down. And yes, the plan is to broadcast the banding live as per usual.

It takes a Princess to have a grudge against Ivy. It was her fault they lost a chick due to envrionamental conditions at her chosen nest site.
Why do you think Princess is giving Ivy a hard time? Is she exhibiting instinctual over protectiveness.

Hmmmmm, well, if we look at the geneology, it could be that mama is spanking sonny's bumbalino.
But given Princess's disposition, she is just following her personality and is being a ....... ;D

Princess is twitchy from weather and cranky from old age.
Hmmm. I don't blame her!
Pam:
I've been away, but my husband did see some Merlins w/young flying about - no peregrine falcons lately!

It could be over-protectiveness, Hurricane has been much more protective this year than I remember her being last year (but I could be wrong). Jules is protective of the chicks but not when it comes to Beau, he gets to hang out with them at night though she is still with them 95% of the time. Or heck, it could be that the weather is making her twitchy, she knows she lost a chick and wants to hedge her bets. Or perhaps this is her behaviour on the nestledge, seems to me that she was much like this in 2009 with Trey. Now Trey didn't have the driving urge to hang with the kids that Ivy seems to have. Ivy's been a little distracted this year as well, he's been very busy defending the Radisson from Cowboy and Joli in particular, but maybe also from Pam's birds though I don't know if they have been seen recently. Heck, it could be that she's getting crankier in her old age ...
Princess, long may she reign :-*
