Radisson - 2018 / Pip & Princess

[newchick]

Yes, Princess, Pip knows the best location for this year's generation.

Thank you for the excellent video, TPC! Seeing them both at the nest box is encouraging.

Great video.  So nice to see them on the "right" side of the building.

Managed to convert video and it seems to have loaded and runs well on YouTube now ....

(that's Pip's tail feathers at the start)

With thanks to Eye-Spy for replacing the balcony-cam - and this one has less of a fish-eye lens!

I look forward to seeing that video.  Keeping everything crossed that Princess chooses the nest box this year and raises a healthy family.

Early days yet for this pair ... no eggs as of Friday and Princess has visited the nestbox with Pip who just loves his scrape.  And Princess has been scraping in it as well.

Will post some photos as soon as I can, we've had a busy week checking out sites to find out who's finally home and where they are and for some, if they have new friends.  With the new Radisson software (which really is sweet) videos are formatted differently but I found a converter and it looks like I should be able to post to YouTube again - I have a nice video of Princess and Pip "dancing" together in the nestbox which I really would like to share so that is on the list along with photos.

Oh Princess, follow Pip who is showing such good sense, PLEASE!!!

I'm almost afraid to check this forum - Don't want any bad 'East Ledge'  news.    - Come on Princess, be smart! 

[Moonstar]

He likes the nest box.  Hopefully Princess will follow him. 
Is this late for eggs?  I can't remember when they usually lay eggs but I thought it was earlier than this.

I'm new to posting on the board, but have been lurking since last season.  But I gotta say, I think Pip better just make a real nice scrape, hang some nice curtains, bring lots of food gifts to the nice box, cause I'm pretty sure no one commands Princess to do anything she's not set her mind to.   

Welcome aboard KansasEd!

And have no fear, Pip has a very nice scrape in the nestbox - just that Princess, so far at least - hasn't been showing much interest in it.  Hopefully it is just because she knows it is there and isn't really considering a nest on the east side of the building.  But we won't know until she lays an egg.  I should note that Princess doesn't spend a lot of time near any of our cameras - she never has.  Annoying yes but that's just her

Hi All,
I'm new to posting on the board, but have been lurking since last season.  But I gotta say, I think Pip better just make a real nice scrape, hang some nice curtains, bring lots of food gifts to the nice box, cause I'm pretty sure no one commands Princess to do anything she's not set her mind to. 

So glad to see them doing their spring time falcon things!

Take care everyone,
Ed

Good job Pip  - Now you just need to command your 'better half' to lay her eggs RIGHT THERE - as opposed to the OTHER place that I won't mention. 

[RCF]

Pretty sure this is Pip, he was in making a scrape.

Is it too soon to determine which nest is the domain of choice, TPC? 

I'm afraid it is.  Princess has been eye-balling the east-side ledge as she usually does.  Pip has been scrapping alot in the nestbox.  She will choose and because she's back later, I don't know if she will be more comfortable risking the eastside ledge or not.  We will just have to wait and see.

Maybe a little persuasion from 30,000 Jets fans tonight, 15,000 indoors and 15,000 outside will help her choose the West nest box.
