It is refreshing for me Kittenface

I am off to bed.

I certainly hope he was fed d today.

I know there is lots of food in stashes. But we have one more disturbance tomorrow and then hopefully R and Chase

Peter and I will swing by there tomorrow. I watch the chick and by his actions , I know the adults are across at CP and on Maz.

I am mentally wasted

I've been watching on and off for 3 hrs and haven't seen a food delivery, but I could have missed it.

Jean sent me a shot of R at box on wrung last evening for quite a while(fireworks etc, going of so Jean was concerned). jean has sent shots of them cleaning box etc, which i iwll try and fix up for posting later.

well I am hyping after Rick does him again today all will be well.

I have to think p[positive. I am just thinking that at a lot of other sites these chicks would have been just left to die.

Thanks Carly.

I think the adults have down the time the man comes and are wary.
Peter and I will try and get down there today and watch .
It is usually at this time that R has them trying to self feed but there is nothing to self feed on.

I can see where the chick is watching so I know where the adults are. Ironic, this time last week there was so much food and I was wishing Genesse had as much. Now tides have turned and I am wishing this wee one has what Genessse chicks have.

Well, I will be a season late but I guess I needed to have recorder on this year. then I could have been watching to see if feedings taking place.

Just do to have time to fiddle around now.

bev. · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:42 am

the adults just take food out, from what is reported here.

I am just heart sick here.

Refresh is not working for me. I will try again later and throughout the day. If this cam worked properly, it would be so much easier.

bev. · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 12:52 pm

my refresh works fine

Elaine · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:18 pm

Cam is working again for me, and the chick is moving about the nestbox. I cannot see clearly enough from my computer to tell if he is calling for food. No sign of parents yet.

On the Manitoba Forum, I stated the situation regarding our chick here at the U of A, and here is what Tracy, the peregrine falcon expert at the Radisson site, had to say:

Quote:

I would be very surprised if your chick wasn't being fed - you have an experienced mother who has had disturbances before and even the number of visits this year and cleaning out the nestbox shouldn't be enough to make her abandon her chick. Before cameras, we used to visit the nestboxes alot more over the nesting season (only way to see what was happening) and I've never had a bird even come close to abandonning their eggs or chicks.

Your chicks are banded so they won't get fed as often as they used to and with fewer mouths to feed, there won't be need for as many visits (some parents catch on to fewer mouths faster than others) and at this stage the adults feed the chicks less and the chicks feed themselves more, so whole bunch of changes in eating behaviours now which means viewers may need to change their viewing behaviours as well.

My suggestion would be that anyone up and willing to watch should keep an eye on the box between 0300h and 0600h - that is when meals started arriving at our nestboxs and there were usually a couple between these times. Even when the chicks were younger, room service would be often early morning and almost nil through the day and a couple between 1600h and sunset. Ivy right up until all the chicks had left the box used to turn up with food between 0300h and 0400h with food. Even if you can only see outlines, you should be able to see food in the feet as the birds come in.

I was jsut going to come and post that the feedings would be less than before.

Remember this male is at least 29 days old.
I was going to say that he has probably already been fed.

Radisson is a good mom and if Gord thought this would cause her to not feed , he would not have been doing it.

Gord has his cell on so if there are problems there is someone on standby

the male has is preening , which is good.

I have recorder on and if recorder works , I will put it on before I go to bed tonight. first time we have tried it so we will see today if it is working O.K.

Our adults are nearby, from what Jean is seeing. and we will be looking today as well.
