Radisson - 2008 / Trey & Princess

wow more food, Trey has been busy. Mum just left the chicks to go get the food. Not sure what it is, all that's left is the body. But at least getting a good view of the chicks being fed.

Just saw a feeding  Looks like they got a lot.  They were alone for awhile and then one of the parents came in with more food but looks like they didn't eat because he or she flew away.  I wish I could tell them apart.  I think this is Princess now trying to stuff them under her.  It looks like the speckles go up her chest.  There they are snuggled in but moving a lot.  She is having a hard time getting them under her, but it looks like they are comfy now.  Camera is shaking pretty good now.  It is also not very warm out there.  I don't know when Winnipeg is going to get summer this year.
Thanks to everyone for the play by play of what is going on in the nest ledge.  It is great to read while at work.

Group hug amongst the chicks,oh mom's back trying to tuck them all underneath her.

I thought Mom was going to feed them more, she just came up to the chicks with something in her beak, but she turned away and must have gone to the edge of the ledge

That feeding appears to be done. The chicks are full and leaning on each other so they don't totally topple over.

Mom stepped away from the chicks when I had stepped away from the computer. The chicks are huddled on top of each other, Here comes dad( I think ) with supper.

Looks like the wind is picking up a bit again, the camera is shaking and Princess' feathers are getting rather ruffled.

[eagle63_1999]

Princess is off the chicks and preening her leg feathers, no wonder after all the wind has done to her feathers all over her body.

Yeah Tracy let's hope Trey brings back something special.

Lots of stretching going on - not too surprising when you consider how many hours she has been crouching over the chicks.  She's doing some toe grooming right now, considering that the chicks have been sleeping on them all day, I'd want a pedicure too!

Wind is suppose to diminish to "light" tonight, but there is still a 60% chance of rain and then tomorrow we are suppose to have showers which are to end in the evening.  Looks like another damp night for Princess!  Fortunately, the chicks are not so large that she can't keep them dry when she needs to.  They are still vulnerable to getting wet & cold at this stage and that could be fatal.  Given all the crap she ha put up with so far, I don't imagine a little more rain is going to do anything but annoy her.

Hope Trey brings back extra special take-out!

Oh my goodness gracious...ya miss a day and there are six pages to read...watching the cam....and that is some wind...I can't believe she is preening in that...boy...what good balance...the cam is really shaking right now...ah...a little calmer...nope....spoke too soon..oops...and a little beak dive...now for a confession..I noticed the top of her head is kinda cut off...to remedy this..I enlarged Media Player...DUH     I cannot tell ya how many times I have done that...thinking I could "see" above/below/right/left...LOL

[eagle63_1999]

Looks like Princess is taking the opportunity to do some preening now that the wind gusts seem to be further and further apart.  Of course soon as I typed that the camera started shaking lol

She just stepped away from the chicks to do more maintence but she half hidden by the vent.  The chicks are huddling into one big mass of fluff. Now they are rearranging themselves as Princess keeps at the maintence or looking for leftover snacks maybe. Now she's gone back to brood over the chicks.

[eagle63_1999]

Princess is doing some nest maintence, now she's back fully on the chick, now more nest maintence.

Two of the chicks have worked themselves around that now you can see there heads laying out from under Princess.  Everyone is catnapping.
