Radisson - 2018 / Pip & Princess

[The Peregrine Chick]

Any updates to share TPC? 

No idea what will happen here.  As time ticks along I think they won't nest then, like today, they bounce in an out of the nest all day and evening.  Today Princess spent more than an hour in the nestbox hoovering and playing with the scrapes.  Pip did the same thing when Princess was away from the box.  Does that mean anything? Who knows at this point ... might be just going through the hormonal motions or maybe they will surprise us all.  Tonight Princess is parked on the edge of the nestbox sound asleep, head under wing.

With all the nest visits, they seem to be making themselves quite at home. - You would THINK that means there may be some eggs in there - or about to be in there!!??

Princess should know Dennis by now! 

Princess should know that Dennis and TPC have never brought them any harm, but that was quite the glare!! Perhaps she's concerned about the strange looking equipment Dennis carries around and often points at them.

Just before five p.m. Princess and Pip were bonding in the box, then he left. I couldn't see her in there except for a glimpse of a tail.  Nine minutes after Pip left he was back with a gift for her, she took it and left. 

  Things appear to be moving right along!

Princess gives me the "What Do You Want" glare when checking the East side ledge in early May.

That's a rather penetrating - you're in my space - kinda look!

Although, I sometimes wonder if these birds are able to read our minds ... maybe she knew that you had no intent to harm her.

I love that picture - photosbydennis!  Thanks for posting

  Almost every time I check in, Princess is sitting on the ledge preening. Hoping TPC will have an update for us soon.

Princess is there now, preening.  - Wish we could switch back & forth to the 'inside' view to check for eggs! 

Princess has again been sitting on the ledge for at least 2 hours. Lots of preening and at times calling out at....? Thus far no signs of meals enjoyed al fresco. They say that patience is a virtue. 

On occasion, she comes and goes or goes in or out?

I'm sure TPC will let us know if/when she sees an egg - she knows how eager we all are
