Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

[Kinderchick]

Hmm... well then I'm not sure either, Leana. I thought it was Princess. I just assumed she would be remaining close to the eggs, so close to hatch time.

1:55pm...  a whole lot of shuggling going on by Ivy... at least I think it's Ivy.  Looks small(er) and he's having a heck of a time trying to get all the eggs under him.  At one point he got distracted (which is why I figure it is Ivy!) and left the eggs uncovered, allowing me to get this photo.  Not sure if any "eggs-perts" can tell tell if there are noteworthy changes in the eggs...



Hmm... just read Kinderchick's post.  Maybe it is Princess?  I still can't tell the difference!

Princess sure is restless this afternoon. She keeps shuffling around on her eggs and can't seem to get settled at all. Almost looks as if there might be a pip in one of the eggs but it could be a piece of dirt. Not absolutely certain.

Thanks for the updates, everyone.  I can't get the web cams here, most days, so I look forward to the news.

Hmph! ...So much for my 'Before Noon' prediction -  - Practice Patience Phanatics!!! 

And so much for my prediction of 1st hatch "early this morning", ballywing.

Updates appreciated since I can't get the cam on my BB.

Another shuffle, no change in the intactness of the eggies that I could see.

Just checked with the University of Winnipeg weather station (closest publically viewable station I know of to the Radisson) and it shows the winds are currently SSE 21km/h with gusts up to 42km/h.  The gusts started to pick up according to their 24 hour archives about 0800h this morning.  Environment Canada just says "wind south 30km/h" so that appears to be about right.  Hourly forecast from the Weather Network indicates that temps will hit their peak about 1500h and the risk of a thunderstorm increases from 10% to 40% by 1600h, to 60% by 1900h and 80% by 2200h.  So if the kids arrive tonight, it sounds like they are going to arrive in time for a light and sound show!

270 degrees around shuffle, and no egg shell fragments or fluff visible.

   All right little eggheads!  I will bribe you with the promise of a plump pigeon if you show up.  Now you little cheepers know you have to get out of those shells if you want to eat that pigeon.  What's that?  the shells are too hard to break through?  ok, you little royals work on it from the inside while we watch for you to say hello to us.

Frequently there is a shift change about 4am at the Radisson but not today, first change was at 0711h, that might be a good sign ...

Thanks ballywing.

Position Adjustment!  Still 4 eggs! 

[ballywing]

Princess hunkered down tight over those eggs....Quite breezy in the nest this morning. Can't get a peak underneath yet to see if anybirdie has arrived overnight !!   (No shell remnants to be seen though)
