You can’t save the world but sometimes humans can lend a helping hand to give birds a chance. This was the seen at the Logan site Saturday morning after we had been hit by a good amount of snow. The birds appeared to be having difficulty dealing with this white stuff that had filled their nest tray.
With only a small window of time for access a quick trip was made to do some snow removal, Joli has now gone on to lay her fourth egg and incubation has begun.
Should have chicks in 30-35 days.
After some concern about who was where and who would take over what territory things have settled. We have Faith and Ty at West Wpg with 2 eggs, Joli and Hart at Logan with 3 eggs and Princess & Pip at the Radisson with 1 egg.
The only change this year is at the Radisson and a new pair…Princess is now with a new partner, Pip (Logan 2014)…this is her 4th. mate since my involvement began in 2006.
Resent visit to West Wpg to do a final nestbox and camera check before the birds get down to business. The timing was perfect and found Faith to be most cooperative…it’s a toss up which female I like more Faith or Joli ?
