Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

[Jo]

No activity in the nest - if you haven't read TPC's post about helping falcons, it's very worth while.

6:20 - one chickie dragged him/herself out of the pile and is enjoying time on the balcony. . . and sibling has joined him/her . . .and a third one  . . .

It's very hazy out  this morning.

7:30 breakfast time. Now it's very very foggy out. Visibility is 0.8km

Does the behavior of our Falcons change when it's so foggy out?

Thank you again RCF!  Always.

My first attempt at posting captures this season (and I may need to spend some more practice time on the 'testing' board) .

Bunch of little mobsters!!

Seems to be taking a while to finish this time - must have been a sizeable meal.

10pm feeding frenzy - parent being mobbed by all four chicks. Perhaps gathering their strength for a weekend of wingersizing?

Wonderful pictures Jo!!

Neat photos! good job, Jo.

The fabulous four are on the patio, itching and scratching. Their adult feathers are really coming in fast.

Chicks have taken charge of the prey as parent hops out of the way (perhaps starting to gnaw on parents feet)

Feeding going on at both Radisson & McKenzie sites.  It's amazing to have both camera's open and watch the size difference

One pancake chick and another just hanging out.

The Weather Network says it's 20 with no humidex, I found it very muggy out and it seems much warmer.

Wonderful photos Dennis!

I have noticed when you are looking at the box when on Portage Avenue you can see the top of one of the babies heads....Is that female that tall that she can be seen by just looking?  WOW

[moka]

There's one lone birdie, can't see the legs to identify, sitting outside.

[jadoo]

..wow, that's a flipping HUGE bird that Ivy brought in...

Four little heads were following the flightpath above, while still keeping up loud yelling for attention.
The balcony view is fantastic.

Phew - it was all blurry for a while - fixed  now!
