22nd time today I have seen someone (assuming Ivy) on the Rogers sign on the north side of the building
You are so lucky!  I have only seen them from a distance, like sitting on the green line; both sides of the hotel, but still from afar!  :(

Life is boring and quiet right now in the nestbox.  Adult sitting or sleeping on eggs.  Occasional nestbox cleaning but the box is pretty much cleaned out right at the moment so its really moving pebbles more than cleaning.

 Princess was not pleased which means that Dennis got some amazing shots of her "not being amused"

After a statement like that you better hope I had a card in the camera  ???  :-\

Today is Earth Day and Dennis and I spent the day tending to our little charges ... at the Radisson that meant annoying the parents for about 10 minutes while we cleaned (what we assume is) Miss Hanky-Panky's blood off the outside-nestbox-cam.  No way to do it but to put a cloth on a stick and wash it off.  Princess was not pleased which means that Dennis got some amazing shots of her "not being amused" and Ivy was pretty quick to figure out where the attack was coming from and he was keeping his eye on us for as long as was necessary.  We chose to do it later in the day today because the temperatures were to have been warmer than they had been (was suppose to be warmer than +14C however) and so that while we were ther, the eggs were be in the sun while Mum & Dad were otherwise occupied.  So it looks like all cams are in good shape and are ready for testing.

Should have a "launch" date for the web cams Monday this week and will post it here.

until then he just stared her down and didn't move a muscle.  Will be interesting to see if she lets him feed the kids more often this year. 

tee hee, a male of some determination...

Before the light dropped too low to see into the box, Princess was tucked down on all 4 eggs.

Great news about the restoration of your internet connection, TPC! :D And very interesting to hear about the shared incubation. If Ivy really does take after his father, I wonder if he's going to hone his housekeeping skills anytime soon and learn to clean up the nestbox a bit, like Trey did. ;)

Actually Princess is the one (I think) who has been doing most of the hoovering so far ... now I'll have to go back and check again  ;)
And yes, I'll be uploading Radisson video shortly

If he hasn't learned what to do and what not to do by now, he would be too slow a learner to be one of Trey's kids!!!
LOL!!!!
