Filled Up and Ready for a Nap

Earlier in the season a camera was installed to monitor the chicks for when
they hatched. Even though the camera had been pre tested it didn’t work once
connected for some unknown reason.
Have to love electronics !

Larry our “Camera Guru” was able to figure out the solution which meant
another trip to change it out.

At this point we had chicks and would need to wait for a warm sunny day to
do the camera swap …with everything prepped and ready to go we made a
quick on and off the roof trip.
So fast that I hardly had enough time for any pics.

Did make time for this one…meet the 4 “Little Darlings” from the Logan
site…they will be banded before the end of the month.

Eggs are Hatching

We have eggs hatching…as of May 26th. Joli & Hart ( Logan ) are proud parents of 4 balls of white fluff.

Not to be outdone…Faith & Ty (West Wpg) have 2 chicks that have hatched May 28th.
Both sites hatching out after 33 days.

I have a feeling that the first of Princess & Pip’s eggs will hatch today May 29th or 30th.

Background on West Wpg Resident Male

Ty our resident male now in West Winnipeg was hatched on the East side ledge at the Radisson Hotel in 2009 ( Princess & Trey )
Then in 2012 it was confirmed that Ty had survived his first year and had returned to Manitoba and nested in a Raven’s nest with an unbanded female at the Shaw Communication tower in Selkirk.
He went under the radar for some time until he showed up in West Wpg in 2015 and has been the resident male since.
