For those that have Shaw TV you may also watch it live on Ch. 9 between 9-10 am.
Same time for those that have Blue Curve with Shaw on Ch. 105.

For the next couple weeks I’ll remind you that it’s more like Watching Paint Dry…but if your timing is such you may catch a glimpse of the eggs during sift change.

Don’t forget to bookmark the page.

Cheers !

During the untimely bad weather that had hit Winnipeg…Ella the Radisson female was busy laying eggs.
She is now incubating four eggs.
Thankfully they are under cover in the nest box and basically high and dry being protect from the elements.
Without any unforeseen hiccups a LIVE Camera feed will be up and running in the near future…yes everyone will be provided with the link once it’s made public.
Stay tuned as it’s always fun to watch the chicks develop.

When it comes to identifying individual birds it can be difficult and confusing…oh thank heaven for bands that gives us a positive ID on a specific bird. The bands have two sets of identical numbers and are a combination of a letter and numbers.
In this case it’s easy to see both the front and back edge of the letter and numbers…confirming it’s Pip.
Without seeing his band it would be a I think its Pip as he has a very white breast and his cere/base of the beak is much whiter than others.

On a side note…First Egg was laid at the Radisson April 17th.
