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.
soaring west:
Looking for the chicks , is like looking for Waldo. Love it.
Kinderchick:
Chicks are huddled against the ledge on the right hand side, in the little bit of shade there is from the ledge. Hard to see them at first. Looks as if there may be some left over "breakfast" in the bottom corner of the ledge.
The Peregrine Chick:
Note about the current camera angle:
I've set the cam so that it is easy to scroll up/down the ledge without having to do lots of zooming or panning to cover most of the area. Will see if this makes it easier to keep the chicks in sight and decent focus. Small adjustments require zooming all the way "in" then zooming "out" to check and then repeating until you have close to what you want. This level of zoom gives folks detail on the chicks and adults when they are in camera range but still covers large segments of the ledge. Eventually we will have to zoom out more, but for the moment, this seems to give us the best of both ...
The Peregrine Chick:
