Radisson - 2014 / Smiley & Princess
moka:
Is this because Smiley is young and inexperienced? ::)
Here's hoping that Princess will whip him into shape.
The Peregrine Chick:
Box is nice and dry, Princess has been sleeping on the eggs with her head inside and just the end of her tail and wing feathers outside getting damp, didn't seem to bother her in the least. Smiley came in just before 1000h to relieve her. No rush on either of their parts - heck, he even had time to preen a couple of breast feathers before walking over and getting on the eggs. This young man needs to up his incubation game. Eggs aren't at risk, he's just not as diligent as our Radisson males have been in their incubation duties!! We'll have to see if he's better at the "chick rearing" stage.
Kinderchick:
With all this rain these days, I'm so glad that Princess & Smiley chose the West nest box to lay their eggs & raise their upcoming brood. :)
The Peregrine Chick:
0905h CDT
Princess is napping on the eggs. She is tucked in under the roof on the box all nice and dry, doesn't even look like her beak is getting damp (it has in the past!). The gravel in the exterior part of the box is damp an there is some water puddling on the nestledge but nothing that will make the peregrines take any notice of.
Oops, now she's bored and playing with pebbles ... definitely into the second half of incubation!
