Radisson - 2013 / Ivy & Princess
The Peregrine Chick:
--- Quote from: Kinderchick on May 30, 2013, 11:43 ---Looks like lots of rain pouring down on Princess right now. :( Sure do hope she can keep her lone chick & any others to come, warm & dry. TPC, how long can the newborn chick(s) go without eating? Do they need to be fed at regular intervals or can/will Princess wait till the rain lets up to expose her chick(s) to the elements in order to feed them? ???
--- End quote ---
They can go a few hours and with just one to feed feeding can go quickly. Chances are this chicks first meal was 3ish hours after it hatched. They can't eat much so mealtimes are very short, she can get them fed and back under her to dry-out and warm-up quickly enough. And with the wind blowing about, she could block most the wind/rain during the process I suspect. However, really the only way we'll know how they do is to watch I'm afraid ...

Had a look at the west side - nestbox is obviously dry but actually the building is keeping the ledge and the outside part of the box dry too ... figures this would be the year this darn bird chose the ledge ... ::)
