She needs either to find a warmer spot to hunker down for the cold, cold night on its way -- or to find Trey and cuddle up!  ;)

As of 2 pm, she had moved from the O to the N. Didn't spot the other birdie though.

She looks so pretty.  Feathers look a bit ruffled, from the wind I guess.

I'm not sure what we'd do without you and Pam, B -- between you, I think there's always an eye on the hotel. Great to think that both Trey and Princess are back (tentative assumption!). So . . . assuming "normal" return date and mating date, how soon would we expect eggs?
Again, not making any assumptions of who is back...but, if, that's IF it is in fact both Princess and Trey, well, we will see the mess on the dome of the food offerings first, then a little action on the Richardson Building, courting rituals etc....As for eggs, hmm, let me see, TPC would have a better response but maybe 1 week, maybe two...

Barb and Pam on the beat
running down the street
because they heard
there might be a bird
So Barb and Pam
take the place of a cam'
with an eye to the sky,
for birds on the fly
Oh look is that Trey?
perched on the 'J'
or the one of royal name?
the Hotel Raddison's Grande Dame
Miss Princess of Poop Shot,
or is the safari all for naught,
and it is really flying K.D,
that they have run out to see?


From TPC: Just tried to help sort out the bold/italics coding :)

You've got me stumped with that question Saoirse, really couldn't say. I'm sure there are lots of others who have a far more vast knowledge than I.
It's nice that there are so many of us downtown. Motherhen and MsDolittle have the west side pretty much covered. Good thing there's very little action on the south, nobody there that I know of.

Well as to who it is, both Pam and I in our hearts, think it's Princess. Pam had a good look from her office with her spotting scope. Speckles on the breast, larger and broader than Trey and certainly not the same bird that we both saw yesterday.
So, it can't be confirmed without band numbers, but I'd sure wager a lot that they are both back. ;D ;D ;D

One is on the O on the east Radison sign right now ;D ;D

Any idea who it is, B?  (since you're the one with the well-placed office window!)  ???
