Ledge cam out
Published 17 September, 2017 | By Cilla Kinross
The ledge camera still seems to be working live, but I’m not getting any recordings, so I have a favour to ask. If you have any sightings of either bird sitting on the LEDGE between 0400 h on 16th September till now (well, until we can get it fixed), I would very much appreciate it. Most of the important data are still being captured fine by the nest camera, but as Xavier often sits on the ledge while Diamond is incubating, I’m missing these data unless I can see his tail. If I can get spot sightings, I can probably be safe making assumptions about his presence/absence.

I was getting a bit worried about the lack of food prey coming in, but clearly Xavier is a modern peregrine, which thinks the female should do her share of hunting! She sometimes comes back from quite long absences with blood on claws, pretty good evidence of hunting (although the off site stash is still an option). She clearly was not that hungry on the 15th as she lay next to a stashed starling for some time, as did Xavier – see photo. Most prey has been starling or pigeon and X still seems to think that the eggs can eat the prey. That bodes well for him sharing feeding duties when the chicks emerge.

I’ve noticed that Xavier also spends quite a bit of time relaxing on the ledge, while Diamond is incubating (but not the other way around). This behaviour is peculiar to this pair. And he also is spending considerable time incubating and is quite comfortable doing this. Certainly neither Bula or Beau, our two previous boys, were that competent in that department – often being quite clumsy and wanting to quit soon after settling. And the previous female, Swift did not do any hunting to my knowledge once eggs has been lain until much later. She had short breaks and chased the boys out as soon as possible (that’s if there were still there!). Mind you, she was an old girl and in her later years spent much time sleeping in the box, even in the day time.

Cheers Cilla

hi cilia and everyone who enjoys this site.


we find here, every time there is a change in at least one of the pair things change. This year, we had the male hunting at one of our sites but very often, he put prey in stash and female went to stash to eat. I have the luxury of watching from the ground. the odd time he brought it into box.

I fine box behavior quite different than ledge behavior. Our biologist always says, just when you think you have them figured out, things change. :girlcrazy: We have 5 sites we monitor from ground and cam and at three of them the males share the duties. They are quite fascinating to watch.

will watch when I can. :15heartbeat:

yeah, Shep. Thanks for the heads up. It sure looks like a campfire party going on below the nest. They shouldn't be doing that so near the nest. I checked the CSU website for info on what that is, and I saw this new post instead, which I don't really understand because I can still get the cams I thought. Confusing.

Molly

Both cams gone now

We have a major technical hitch, unfortunately. Scott is working on it, but I don’t know when we will get recording back up again as there doesn’t appear to be a simple solution. So keep your photos and comments coming, if it is not too much trouble. I have to admit that I’m not sure at this stage how useful they will be. When it was just the ledge cam out, it was wonderful as your photos confirmed my assumptions, but now with both out, it will be very patchy as I record the duration of all behaviour of both birds in minutes (and half minutes), not just when things happen. Happy for suggestions for new solutions. I believe there is a program that records screen shots every few minutes or similar, which I’ll look into.

Chicks are due to hatch 25-28th September……so not that long, now.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Cheers

Cilla

Thanks Molly! :attention:
I am putting my pics on RRP for CSU and others
I can just upload to RRP - without loading to another site then posting, and I dont need to worry about size

I know AT LEAST 3 people are frustrated with - FORBIDDEN -
and so is Cilla - she's had same trouble!
http://www.raptorresource.org/forum/ind ... c=2288.135

For an hour I've watched Diamond - shift head, get up, turn, she is nervous.
Finally now at 7.30 she's closed her eyes

Chicks are due to hatch 25-28th September
NEXT WEEK!!!



:attention:

Thanks for telling me about RRP, Shephard. I see many of the same posts are there that are here. Here is the link to the Raptor Resource Project (RRP) site on the Orange, Australia peregrine falcons at CSU for those that don't have it: https://www.raptorresource.org/forum/index.php?topic=2288.135 . Should we just move to posting over on RRP if it's easier to load pictures there? I don't totally see the purpose in maintaining duplicate sites.

Molly
