!!! Getting bigger!!!!

May 09, 2012 - Windsor - Ambassador Bridge

Dennis Patrick Reports:

Yesterday we arrived just at feeding time. It’s so good to see the three of time lined up like good little ones and take their turn to be fed. Mom was very busy ripping their dinner apart as she was feeding them. Voltaire stayed in the nest tray when the feeding was completed and did some preening. The three babies just went out of sight, we think nap time was setting in. We didn’t see Freddie but that’s not to say that he wasn’t around the nest site. It’s amazing how big they are getting.

Caught this shot of 4 chicks with Mom Erin. This brings dad Windwhister’s lifetime production to 41 offspring!  All seem quite mobile. Depending on order of hatch, at least 2 look like females.

Hi Mark,

I am sending you some of the photos of the proceedings here at Holcim.
These were taken on Friday May 4th after we had 3 hatchlings, We now have 4 happy little chicks as of today (May 8th) but that footage is still being worked on. I will send them as I get them.

All is going well here.

No Hatch as yet!

Mark,
Once we saw the rain had moved through, off we went to the Niagara gorge. As we got closer, we saw there was still a lot of fog and mist in the area. duh… for quite a while, we could hardly see the pefa in the box. We scanned the area, the rooftops and the gorge, looking for the second pefa with no luck.

As Roger and I were walking back to the point to leave, Jacquie showed up, so we all stayed, eyes, scopes, binocs and cameras watching the box, hoping to see a hatch. Oddly, after three days of pefa restlessness, the bird was very quiet today with a minimum of movement detected.

Roger got the pic-of-the-day, below, showing the eggs. The other two pix show the misty, foggy conditions we encountered.

Roger, Jacquie and I are now betting on Thursday as the big day!

Again, rain is forecast for Wed and Thurs, and we’ll be monitoring the Intellecast radar to see when we can make a break for it.

Vicki, Roger & Jacquie at your service :)


Adult female in view

A short visit to Mt.Sinai area today. I found the adult female preening on the south east corner of the structure.  No other activity noted during this short visit, but they are still on site. Promising.
