Radisson Peregrines / Re: Radisson - 2025 / Pandemic & Ella
« Last post by The Peregrine Chick on May 26, 2025, 16:59 »I'm looking at the live cam and she seems stressed out, beak open and appears to be panting. Has moved more toward the opening of nest box since this morning. Could the Temps and smoke be an issue TPC

Smoke
Feels like
30°
Unlikely the smoke is a problem, it's pretty clear downtown surprisingly.
It's that the sun is shining in the nestbox and they are a wee bit toasty - I'm surprised that he (pretty sure it's Pandemic) is tucked so tight on the eggs, usually by this point they stand up more and get their head in the shade and let the air circulate around them. It's warm enough I think for the eggs to be uncovered/partly uncovered but perhaps that's not something he's comfortable with. It's only his second nest - Ella's got stuff to teach him. I suspect Ella will trade off with him soon - they are pretty good at sharing incubation duties.
Thanks TPC for this great news. The wait for hatching is like watching paint dry, as Dennis had said, but worth it. Do you know how many eggs were laid?
