Sleep-preening.

2 blues and 1 yellow...and yellow is youngest!

It's nice to see all of them upright and much stronger than they were last week.

 

First & second breakfast!

I see a blue-footed baby here!

Caption: Mom. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do that!!

 

They are a bit gnarly, yes, and I'm wondering why neither Beauty nor Dot.ca has removed those leftover wings. Ah well, they all appear healthy and active, and that's what matters.

 

"Look at those crazy humans hanging off the side of one of my buildings with cables, because they don't have wings." 

"Well, whisper it to me, honey."

DC checks out the wingpits.

Hi Mom!!!

Oh, will you just look at that face! How precious!

I won't be at work tomorrow (volunteering for United Way Day of Caring), but on Friday I'll have a great view of the top half of the descent from my office window.  Fun!

 

Handsome dude!

Oh, he surely is!

Linda Woods Reports:

Taken today around 1:20p.m.  Erin! Alive and well. One can clearly see her bands. She and Stormin have been spending a lot of their time on the west ledges of 18 King St. nest building.  I have another image of both Erin and Stormin together.  Great news. I couldn’t believe that Erin had passed away. It just wasn’t fitting the behaviour I was seeing from Stormin. He was hanging out and close to nest building. This is why, Erin was still with him.

Now to find out if there is actually an active nest on the west ledges. More observations are being done, when time allows

Like Mark Twain, reports of her death have been greatly exaggerated.   

So all those pics of Stormin with "Erin", shading her broken body from the sun, was him actually protecting and mantling his prey?    

Well, he is Rhea Mae's son... 

 

Poor Rhea Mae!!!
