Radisson - 2009 / Trey & Princess

[allikat]

Thanks Mother Hen....appreciate the updates!!

Wasn't able to post any sighting last few days. Most of the days a beatiful white chest standing on the West nest going in and out. Princess? the odd flying around , but really just sitting enjoying the early morning darkness and then the bright sun later on.

HAHAHAHA....ah poor Trey!  What a man to take a direct hit of poop!  I wonder what he chirped to her after that happened?  Oh probably nothing as she would just do it again.....     The Queen and the Rockstar...what a pair!

Good grief, the things that Peregrines have to watch out for.
5:45 p.m., spotted somebirdy on the nest - west side, of course- walked closer to the Radisson, but couldn't be sure which one was sunbathing - I suspect Trey.

Oh no...poor Trey  !

Oh dear heavens Pam, I'm biting my tongue.
(must be good, promised the chick, no naughtiness in the public forum, OMG, I'm going to burst)      hee hee hee
... running to a corner before heidi can put me there........

[Pam]

They're still there - easy to spot the difference in size when you see them both so close together!

Best laugh in days TPC, did you manage to capture it for posterity??
We all know he's adoring/devoted.
But I'm thinking that she may care just a wee bit less.
On purpose maybe?? If so, she has one heck of a good aim

Poor Trey, indeed -- but what a great visual (I'm still snickering)! Glad to hear he's taken cover, though . . .

Both Princess and Trey are at the north end of the Radisson sign on the east side of the building.  Princess is on the top of the "n" and Trey is on the green slash under the last "n".  I have just observed why this is a dangerous place for Trey to sit despite how much he adores her/she adores him ... poor Trey, had a nice preen, a major fluff and then briefly became part of Princess' poop-art display.  He must think she's an okay "wife" he's still sitting on the green slash beneath her, albeit with one eye watching for "gifts".

Trey has decided that the better part of valour is to sit a wee bit further in on the slash - gives him a bit a cover ....

Sure hope so Saoirse, I plan many more walks in the next few weeks.

[Saoirse]

Based on my own experience when I've stopped downtown, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of our birds, I'm guessing that it's hard to justify frequent air quality checks when there's seldom anything to see. Especially when that pesky "working for a living" thing gets in the way . . .    Now that sightings are relatively rare, it's just great to hear when someone sees one of the birds. Wonder if this warmer weather will keep them around a bit longer?

[bccs]

The checks have been sporadic for a few weeks now, sorry Saoirse . And will be for at least a few more . But I'll do my best.

[Saoirse]

Been missing those air quality checks, Bccs! So Trey's been on the east side and now Princess on the west side -- great to know they're both still around even though the chicks are apparently exploring far and wide.

Went for a walk and Princess was on the nest box on the west side about an hour ago
