Radisson - 2015 / Smiley & Princess

[GCG]

He's inside, not on the edge.

Still there! On the ledge and occasionally inside, including out of site. Can this be Princess? TPC? Dennis? Just checked. I didn't see anybirdie. Sadly, I must tear myself away. I have tickets for Martin Short at Club Regent. Time to get ready. Tomorrow, I can watch again for awhile, until it is time to get ready for Jersey Boys. Might leave early and hope to see someone at the Radisson. Has anyone else been watching the cam?

Well "Hello", birdie! I think it is again, Smiley. Thanks Dennis for identifying our visitor.

Smiley has left the building. Will have to check back later or again in the AM.

I'm watching Smiley through this link. The date below is incorrect. This IS live. I don't know when he leaves and will be watching an empty nestledge.

As of 6:55 when checking...that is Smiley sitting at the nest box.

Being curious, I again checked the cam. Yes, we have somebirdie there. Apparently, early daylight may appear to be a time to check. Will start checking.

...One of our Radisson Royals sitting in the edge of the nestbox...

I wonder which one it was?

  Thanks for the photo, RCF! Yes, that's pretty much what I watched for about 50 minutes. Well worth it!

I knew my persistence would pay off. One of our Radisson Royals sitting in the edge of the nestbox. Sorry, back to the cam!

I have been watching now for over 40 minutes. I will be checking more often. TPC, do you see them more often here or on the ledge? Well, back to the cam.

One of the three eggs is now up against the outside wall on the nestledge ...

Thank you for posting about the ledge TPC, but besides reading about what is happening - I would greatly appreciate being able to view the ledge cam as well, since that was their nest.

Watching a tragic event on any live bird cam is difficult, and at times I’ve had to turn away; although, I’ve also found that watching how the birds deal with grief was often healing, (and always a learning experience).

I would like to see how Princess and Smiley are handling their particular situation, and also if they might begin to show signs of nesting again.

Is anyone else interested in having the ledge view?

If the birds visit the ledge for eating and occasionally hanging out I would be interested in that view.  I have yet to catch anyone visiting the nest box on the roof.

Smiley was definitely the aggressive one as Princess sat and watched from her perch...this was all pre-nesting as we thought they had for sure picked the west-side box.
