TPC, what is the estimated hatching date for the Brandon chicks? Brandon midwives, RCF and Rose, are you prepared?  ;D

Day 30 for McKenzie Seeds is June 7th, but if the Radisson birds are an example this spring, I would expect anything until after June 9th ...
Not too many sleeps to go and we will get to watch the Brandon hatchings. Can hardly wait. :)

Excellent photos & description of Hurricane & Brooklyn for those of us who have difficulty telling these 2 PF's apart. Thanks! :-*
Yes thanks TPC.  I'm never very good at telling them apart so this is very helpful.

RCF's post reminded me to post the following for those having trouble telling these two apart ...



Note:
a) size - Hurricane is alot bigger than Brooklyn
b) breast colour - Hurricane's breast has a pale pink wash on it, Brooklyn's looks neon
c) white cheek patches - Brooklyn's is larger and the edges are crisp, Hurricane's looks smudged

All quiet in the nestbox this morning ... I can see blue sky with a few clouds with the camera inside the nestbox and the sun is shining in the nestbox and Brooklyn looks to be napping and enjoying the sun.  Hardly any wind visible in the box and even when it comes up a bit (not much) this evening, the shift further south should I think mean the south wall of the nestbox could provide some protection and give them a quiet night.


Today's forecast for Brandon ...

Day - Overcast in the morning, then partly cloudy. High of 16C. Winds less than 5 km/h.
Night - Partly cloudy. Low of 5C. Winds from the ESE at 5 to 15 km/h.

McKenzie Seeds - 2013 / June

Brooklyn looks to have taken over in the night sometimes, he was just visible by his shape/size & neon cheek patches when the light started helping with contrast on-camera between 0345 and 0400h.  Hurricane took over at 0802h.  Bright sun in the nestbox all morning and 3 very good looking eggs.



And for today, the weather won't be a problem at all, not even the winds from the NNE ...

Day - Clear. High of 15C. Breezy. Winds from the NNE at 15 to 20 km/h.
Night - Clear in the evening, then partly cloudy. Low of 1C. Winds from the NNE at 5 to 15 km/h.

We've been very lucky today! No rain since early am. The reason Hurricane looked so wet, the wind was blowing the water dripping off the roof directly onto her right side. When she got up at change of shift you could see her left side was completely dry and Brooklyn was dry when he came in. They sure don't take long to change shifts, just  one off and the other on ( they had lots of practice in 2011).

I'm surprised that awful wind hasn't blown them off the eggs.

The only good thing is it's not raining here. :-\

 We're lucky here, there has been very little rain since 0730 and the cloud cover has on a few occasions shown a little bit of blue sky, oh that it would last! The wind keeps constant at about 46 to 50km/h still from the northeast. :(

That's a pretty wet bird sound asleep in there  :o

For those from away, this is the weather warning that includes the Brandon area (but not Winnipeg)

Watches/warnings in effect for southern Manitoba...

Rainfall warning for:
      Portage la Prairie - Headingley - Brunkild - Carman
      Morden - Winkler - Altona - Emerson - Morris
      Brandon - Carberry - Treherne
      Minnedosa - Neepawa - Russell - Riding Mountain National Park
      Killarney - Pilot Mound - Manitou
      Ste. Rose - Mccreary - Alonsa - Gladstone.

      50 to 75 mm of rain by late today.

Hopefully the wind will either die down some or switch the south or west to give Brooklyn and Hurricane some relief from the wind driving rain into the nestbox ... fortunately, they are still on eggs ...
