Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
ballywing:
At least she'll get a break, she must be exhausted - the radar shows we're still smack in the middle of a band of rain - supposed to end over night. Can't come soon enough. Hope at least a couple of the eggs are still ok.
The Peregrine Chick:
With just the eggs, Ivy can help with the incubating in the rain ... it is falling at under 1mm/hour, so not nearly as heavy as for Princess, but he'll get just as wet ... nuts, lied, now it's 1mm/hour and forecast says 1mm this evening and no rain overnight ...
GCG:
:'( :'( :'( Princess did her best to keep her eggs and chick warm and dry. This rain was too much. :(
ballywing:
I thought for sure I had seen another chick when Ivy was moving around before - must have been wrong, sorry! :-[ - And it's still raining... :'( :'(
The Peregrine Chick:
--- Quote from: bcbird on May 31, 2013, 17:36 ---TPC, were you concerned that the newly hatched chick seemed to be lying down so much.
Could s/he have been not strong right from hatching?
--- End quote ---
It is possible, but just as possible s/he was fine at hatching and it was came after that was the problem. We estimated hatch was sometime around 0300 or 0330h yesterday, only saw three meals all day and none of them very long in duration and you know how unstable these chicks are after hatch, it's agonizing to see how long and how carefully the adults have to be to feed them. Might have had a meal maybe two during the night (Ivy is regularly active after dark) but then nothing (or nothing I saw) after 0500h this morning. So, entirely possible.
