Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[allikat]

I just checked cbc's cam....(bah), and yup, there's still a little poop-art on the lens and I can only see one female because of the glare.  I saw two a little earlier, so one must be tucked in the corner. 
Great updates from this morning...
Thor and Loki (is it Loki as in:  Low-key, or Low-Ky) sound like they are doing well! 
Very happy there are two females so they can take their time and go when they are ready! 

Can't wait for tomorrow's reports!  Thanks again to all you ground spotters/watchers!

I noticed since the rain, the camera lens is a little cleaner. 

Wet birds rubbing the camera clear up the poop-feti nicely.

Could it be that the 'cleaning gene' is starting to kick in? lol

Glad everyone is doing well - thank you to all the fledge watchers for your account of events during the day.

Just got back from my out-of-town day trip not long ago. Was disappointed not to have been able to do some fledge watching today but am grateful for all the reports from all those who were able to... thank you bccs, des, ms. dolittle, sami, Pam and anyone else I may have missed. Am also glad to hear that all chicks are accounted for and are safe and sound!  On my way back into Winnipeg, around 6:30 PM, I drove east down Portage Ave., passing the nestbox and was able to observe some serious wingersizing by 1 bird that was perched on the nestbox ledge. Right now, there are 2 chicks perched on the ledge and 1 just inside the ledge. Great to see that 1 of the boys made it back home!

3 kids in/on the ledge, what a beautiful sight.......     oh wow, oh wow,

Just watched a bit more. I think that the one in the middle is a boy, no twitching or flap flap and he's smaller than the others.
Left side is red, getting antsy and wanting to go, right side, green, who seems content to stay in the nestbox for the rest of her life.     sheeesh, mum and dad won't feed you forever

Hi everyone,

Just checked the cam and there are 3 chicks there.  Not sure which of the boys came back for a visit.  Can anyone else tell which one it is?

Had to look for  a bit there, but are definitely 3 kids in there. One on the edge, who I think is a boy, one looking out from the box on the north side - girl and one mostly obscured by a poop shot, but, without a doubt 3.
Would be fantastic if boy 2 turned up soon, but this is great news.
They both fledged strongly and had long first flights, I have nothing but good feelings for there guys.
Can't see the leg band to be sure, but 3 in the box is great!!!

Hey there, bccs, not only luck!
You trotted yourself down there by waking at the crack before dawn.  Very early that is.  Good for you!  And good for us as well, because you are an excellent reporter.   Thank you!

Awww, bcbird,  , you're going to make me blush. I so look forward to this week every year.....
Little sleep, crazy at work but I wouldn't miss this for the world.
this morning Des and I were showered with feathers. At first we thought it was Mr Yellow who had just fledged. Nope, a few minutes later, a parent delivered breakfast and then we realized what the feathers were all about. 
And the camaraderie with the other birdie people.......    big fat wow. 
Yup, it's a sweet life.

One of the girls, probably Aura/green, has been air drying her feathers the past few minutes, while the other (probably Iris/red) sits on the edge.
