Wings!

Yoga STREEETCH!

WOW!  Mom said we could do that some day...do you think it's true?

 

Let me guess...Mom is up above?

This is a poor recording of the latest BBC story...I can barely hear it...

She's feeding them again right now

Thanks!  I just got home and, of course, checked the cam...only one!  And I tried all the views, etc.  There must be lots of "out of cam view" nooks for them around the box.

I never quite realized how well a juvie peregrine blends in with weathered 2xs and plywood before!

She just popped up a bit...she's been on the front ledge, near (north) corner, pancaked below the rail for a while now.

Yup, just saw her at that same time!  Thanks.   I was getting a little anxious. 

There's her little face!

If anyone has avoided watching today you may want to check again...

Lady took a trip to the Loch for a drink earlier and just finished feeding the chicks and herself.  It still may not end well...I can't imagine her successfully migrating after this episode...but some inner strength is keeping her with us for now.  Amazing.

Synchronized preening

It's still freaking me out when I open the cam page to this



even though I know this is where they are...

I just tuned in there and Lady seems to be rallying a bit...she's sitting up right now looking around...

As I am very tired at the moment I will have to ask if this is all real later!
There have been 3 fish in so far this morning and the chicks had a good go at getting stuck into a left-over fish from last night. They are learning fast. Mum seems to be making the most miraculous of recoveries, sitting up, preening herself, flapping her wings (almost taking off it seems!) and opening her eyes for a brief time. This is all positive progress but we must keep grounded and realise she is still not out of the woods yet. She must eat, and soon, in order to rehydrate and build up her energy reserves, and at present she is showing no interest in the food being brought right to her. It is also very possible that she has sustained long-term damage to her brain or eyes and may not recover fully, in which case she won’t leave for migration and may have to face a winter at Lowes. There are many different scenarios and we cannot predict anything at present. We will just have to continue the roller-coaster ride and see where the journey ends.
Dad continues to be brilliant and the chicks seem none the worse for wear for being left to survive the elements for 2 nights. Lets see what today brings. Hopefully some sleep for me!

Good night girls!
