Radisson - 2012 / Ivy & Princess

[sami]

Sounds like Jubilee is continuing the female tradition (think Beatrix, Vesper) of shrieking as they fly. Makes you wonder how they ever manage to catch their prey.

Thanks again for the great report, Linder.

I can only imagine the thrill of seeing these birds soar when you have spent the time to keep track of them.!

[Linder]

I thought it was Princess from the size, rather big.

Linder, thank you for your vivid report, full of visuals and vocals!

The loudness must be a Radisson female characteristic!

Could you tell, was it Princess giving the boost, rather than the smaller Ivy?

[Linder]

Liz was the first to spot Jubilee on top of 330 St Mary Avenue across from Boston Pizza. At first we weren't sure but kept watching and saw another bird fly in, presumably a parent, as they were gone from last spot we had seen them. She took off and flew across the street towards the MPI building but did not have the height to clear the roof. I headed down there and saw her on the lower brick roof between Boston Pizza and MPI. Once again another bird flew in and she took flight and headed back towards 330 St Mary. She cleared the roof there and all I could hear was squawking as she flew around the back side of the building and into sight. She was followed by a parent and they flew in circles. Every so often the parent would fly right underneath her almost like giving her a boost upwards. They flew in a northeast direction and I thought they might go to the Radisson but she veered back westward and landed on the MPI Building. She is quite the squawker and I couldn't lose sight of her because I could always hear her.

Beautiful scene of the fading light, but miss the birdies on the nest box.
Goodnight all.  Thanks for all the updates on the kids.

To dark to keep searching for McDermot.  He looked good in when he was on the roof below the box and his flight off there was too fast for me to keep up with.  And I went back and checked, and he wasn't on the roof right after he re-fledged, so he went off to another building and then came back 1/2 - 1 hour later.  That's a good sign.  So he should be settling in for the night somewhere and then it will be interesting to see what/who turns up on the nest ledge tomorrow morning.  Not getting up at oh-dark-thirty to see, but I'm sure some early bird(s) will be tuned in and will post all delicious details.

Night all - have to do some more work before crashing for the night.

Good night The Peregrine Chick.

Glad he's okay, but remember he can be tracked. 

 Ahh, of course! (my brain is still tired )

[Leana]

*sniff*... that is one sad lonely view of the nestbox and ledge right now... 

Happy Flying my little loves... but please do come back to visit  .

Oh for goodness sakes. . . I just logged out and what did I see on the main page. . . the News about their names. Sheesh. I don't know how I could have missed that. Duh

I miss it sometimes myself.

McDermot turned up back on the roof below the nestbox, now he's flown off again to the south-south-west.  Still hunting for him ...

Glad he's okay, but remember he can be tracked. 

Glad to see and hear that McDermot is ok and safe.
