Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[bcbird]

Well that was poorly done, I got the date right but should have put Day Thirteen!

[bcbird]

Stormy looking sky makes me think Princess is in the nest box with them, as she is not visible on the ledge.

[bcbird]

I'm thinking it's Princess come to add a bit of warmth of a cool drippy evening at bedtime.

Colour's gone on my picture.  More difficult to see the action in the nestbox.  The kids seem to be restless - probably wanting a snack.  Can't tell if it's still raining.  It's raining here in St. Vital.

[susha]

Someone's returned - Ivy?  No food though.

[bcbird]

There are definitely four chicks in that pile visible when they squirm.

What's that in the far corner of the nest box, right by the edge of the ledge.  It looks white and fluffy, but I don't think its a chick, is it?

[susha]

It's raining again.  Chicks aren't even waking up this time.  No sign of parents.  Must be nearby in sheltered places.

[susha]

Okay, looks like the rain's stopped.  Time for some grub...?

[susha]

Look who's home with the 'chow'...no really who is it? Not too good at determining who it is...

I'm not sure who it is either.  Just came to reassure kids that they're doing fine and in fact, they were all big boys and girls for the beginning of this latest shower.  They seem much more peaceful now though...

OOOps I was wrong...no 'chow'

They are looking quite interested in the rain. . . okay, never mind. Lost interest after about 30 seconds. . .back to a chick pile.
