Mike has been very busy this morning. He found the boy cave and he was out on the wall again. Hmm. Wonder who will be the first to fledge? 

Right on schedule, that Mike!

Mom and Mike!

 

Was that dad!

This is so beautiful. Thanks, Carol. I love to watch them when they are watching their parents fly.

My cousin.

HAH HAH!!!

Got down there today, in the rain, and fog, but Cadence and her mate (Dad, Allen, whomever) was with her on top of the antennas on top of the building.  We could see the igloo and new, artificial turf, perches.  Can't see the eyases, yet, but soon.  It is a lot like Times Square.  The fledglets won't have far to go when they take that giant leap.  Photos coming.

Thanks, Bonnie! Did Cadence recognize you and your camera from the day you took those lovely photos of her on the pedestrian bridge at High Falls?

Letchworth (middle): Hey! Yeah you cam watchers! How would you like it if you had a webcam on you and a bunch of birds were watching your every move!
Sundara (right): That's right! You tell 'em, Letchworth!
Mike (left): Geez, the stuff I have to put up with from these two.

Someone in the nestbox is sitting very ladylike with her talons resting on the perch.

Thanks, Bonnie! I am so proud of our Cadence!

Hard to tell if males or females.

Sure is from that pic! I few days ago I would have sworn it was two boys and a girl, but not from looking at this.

Such precious pictures today! Thanks, Carol.

Yes, our Cadence has come a long way since her fledge to Powers, her stint in juvie jail, and her close encounter with OCSR that caused her to spend the night on that yellow building on State Street.

Donna, words seem so very trivial at a time like this, but I am truly sorry for your loss. My prayers and cyber hugs to you and your family.

What a cozy snuggle on a damp and rainy day.
