Radisson - 2021 / Pip & Ella

[The Peregrine Chick]

When they asked which I preferred, I said I didn't have a preference.
Then I asked them which they preferred, or what their audience preferred and we realized we didn't really know ... then I thought of a wonderful group of people who might be interested in attending such a presentation and et voila, a poll ...

Don't worry, it doesn't mean you have to attend, you are just the best folks to ask to vote!

🀄️TPC - I've been asked to make an online presentation about the peregrines in support of an local interpretive centre. We are wondering about start times for a 1 hour presentation and Q&A. Then I thought who better to ask than falcon fans online! Poll ends noon Thurs.#mbfalcons

Radisson - a little rain and some cloud cover has helped to cool the air a bit which makes an early evening nap so much more comfortable for both Ella and the chicks.#mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/LcMKbJgBkq

Sweet chickpile. I look forward to the butt scoots and of course, the faceplants.

Hip hip hooray for Ella & Pip & their 2 chicks!
Great interview on CBC radio this afternoon, TPC!

Thank you Kinderchick!
I think there may be a story on the CBC Manitoba website later on for those who are interested but who missed the live interview.  CBC does that more and more these days - lets them have a short interview and often more information online.  If there is, I will be sure to post a link to the story.

Radisson - Ella acting as a "mum-brella" to keep the sun off the chicks. In a couple of weeks the chicks will be able to scoot around more and they will follow the shade around the nestbox & Ella won't need to do this as often.#mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/yxLx7WKYHx

Radisson - weather is much more pleasant than it has been so Ella is happy to let the chicks nap al fresco. Going to get very warm later this week (up to 36C) so the chicks will likely be al fresco quite often. If Ella or Pip isn't on camera, they are never far away. #mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/IKk8mwwgwx

Radisson - it is 0120h and the perfect time for a very late (or very early) snack for the chicks and Ella. #mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/lUj6OOEjl3

This one is posted here on the forum a bit later than usual ... 'fraid I just didn't have the oomph to post it last nigh

TPC, portions of your interview from yesterday is being repeated on CJOB/Global radio in their half hourly news this morning. You speaking about the Radisson as their "cliff nest site. For those who listen to radio, CJOB is 680 on your AM dial.

Posting this here because it is likely that most of the conversation will be about the Radisson birds.  I'm going to be chatting with Clay Young on CJOB tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 0845h.  Not sure for how long bit it is a bit of a continuation of an interview I did with him either just before or just after the birds started nesting.

Radisson - nice watching the feeding from this angle (chicks' backs to the cam) as it lets me take a good look at their bodies and they look to be developing very well - feathers, confirmation, balance & coordination all look appropriate for their age. Lovely to see!#mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/iwS0RpMIeX

Radisson - while Ella takes a well-deserved Mom nap (she's awake all night with these little ones), one of the Chicklets is keeping an eye on things!#mbfalcons pic.twitter.com/Qt9d4Qasmi

Yes I thought at least one more might hatch but it's been maybe too long now - the 2 chicks look great though!

Since Ella has laid her eggs, they have never ever left the eggs unattended. I was hoping for all the eggs to hatch, but it appears only the 2 will be our chickpile this season. Now hoping for successful fledges.
