Radisson - 2010 / Ivy & Princess

[The Peregrine Chick]

Isis, the murderous little witch, tried to eat my hand when we put her back in the nestbox.  Dennis has some great photos but its going to take a couple of days as he has banding photos and Isis release photos to go through, so I'm afraid y'all might just have to wait for his photos.  She's fine, fat, pissy, hyper-aggressive and back flying around.  Actually, she joined Ivy & Princess giving us grief on the roof - ungrateful little wretch.  First time in 15 years I've gotten really dinged by a bird - wicked puncture on my hand - bad enough and that given that she was standing in half-eaten quail for most of the morning, I checked with my doc on the date of my last tetanus shot ....

And about the others, no reports of problems for/with Loki, Thor or Aura ... all the cameras show the nestsite (box & ledge) empty of chicks and adults - only a pile of bird feathers in the front of the box - Dennis and I shovelled out the leftovers that were in the back of the box before we put Isis back - they will dry out and then blow away which will help to clean up the box some ... well, except for the remains of Isis' quail which is still in the box for anyone who comes back for a visit ...

I can't believe she fledged at night

This is the last web capture I got of Aura last night, probably just before she fledged.

This feels a bit anticlimactic doesn't it, compared to the hoopla of the other three fledgings?

I can't believe it -- I may actually have seen her fledge. I took one last look at the cam before I shut down the computer last night around 10 -- did see a bird fly from the edge of the nest but assumed it was one of the boys who might have been visiting.

From earlier on the peregrine peotry site:
Quote from Eyespy
You are about 12 1/2 hours too late.  She went last night at about 10 to 10 PM.  She was spotted with the rest of the family this AM by Barbie on the Hydro and Arena buildings.

Was her fledge seen on the video?  I watched the darkened nest box for awhile last night, probably 11pm and later, and saw no activity at all.

Oops, thanks Mother Hen - I meant the west side, Ivy has not been on the east side at all lately!

[Mother Hen]

For those who can see the WEST side,one of the them is sitting directly under the letter N on that green thingy,

My cam is still on, but flipping around pretty quickly.

Went out, saw only Ivy on the east Radisson sign, and now that I'm back, can't see anybody on the Rogers - though they have tended to jump down on to the roof where I can't see them.  On the bright side, didn't see any falcons close to the ground!

Usually let the falcon cam page run and come back to check occasionally.  Still have link to it from this morning.  If I try to open another window as you've all said, the page is changes and you can't link to the cam.  Guess when I turn off my computer that's it for the web cam for this year.

Camera is still flippy but can see someone sitting on the ledge in the shade.

the falcon cam has been removed from the cbc site.  Please continue to post.  I reeeeeeally appreciate the ground updates.

I'm still getting the flipping, looks empty from what I can see (but it goes by pretty quickly!).  Can see one on the Rogers, nobody is on the tower now.  I'll go out for a walkabout and see what I can see!

Awwww

Yeah I am getting the same message, Sami.

It's looking as though the cams have been given up for lost - all I can get is a notice that the falcons have left us and will be back for the 2011 cam!
