Princess just turned with chicks from 12 to 7
she is moving the pebbles in front of her.
Chicks look covered
she better enjoy leisure now , soon ,no time fro digging around.
Pokes at shell to her right

up and rotating around again . Her tail is at 6 and she is facing 1. Looks up quite often, so I am sure Trey is close by
seems much calmer today. A bit of breeze ruffles the feathers

just checked out the article in the Free Press, love your quote Tracy, that's exactly what I said when I first heard where they nested ...

hi all, first post on this blog this year! thanks for the pictures, the chicks are lovely and I have great hopes for the contraption being effective and protective. Good work Tracy!! Looks a little windy there, then again, isn't it most of the time?! wonderful to see Princess & Trey

Ok wind, shift to the west pleassseeeeeee!

[The Peregrine Chick]

1145 hrs (local) - all is quiet, Princess still on the chicks.  She's facing the building, I suspect to keep the chicks in the shade now as it is getting close to midday.  When the sun goes behind the Hotel in the next couple of hours and if the air temperature stays high, we could see more chick piles this afternoon than this morning.  Would help too if the wind would shift to say the west ....

1146 hrs (local) - nuts, she just shifted 160 degrees ...

[The Peregrine Chick]

1030 hrs (local) - Princess is stuffing chicks under her again after having had a nice big stretch.  Its warm enough that she doesn't need to tuck down on the chicks to keep them warm - just means more viewing opportunities!

Mom turned again now she is facing at 3, the sun is shining. It is 14C right now but suppose to go up to 20C.

IN my house 'fluffing' is a polite word for an entirely different sort of , um, bodily function.  yes you needed to know that   

  same in my house and maybe in Princess and Treys nest box.

thanks for the article Tracy.

Still have not seen all 3 but I will check in and out . Sat here most of yesterday and chores call me. where is Trey when I need him

[Pchemist]

it certainly seems the edges of the bin are helping with the wind.  Good job!

Have a friend whose nickname is fluff - poor thing - and yes, for the same reason Loriann

Thanks for the explanation about the size.     And the closeup view is great.

There's some fidgeting and changing of positions going on now as everyone was getting comfy. A sight of fluffy white chick under the chin, but nope, she's turned the other way and now we have an excellent view of tail feathers.
