Did she drop it in the box?  I wasn't watching the video, but it sure does look like some mantling going on...

Lunch arrives!

 

Hmmm...must have just been passing through...

Lunch arrives!

And, for a first time Dad, Archer has proven to be a great provider even if babysitting still makes him a little nervous!

Kaver is what every peregrine Dad should aspire to be...and Archer is well on his way !

That first pic is of Tybropa Cree.

OOPSIE....Now how could I mix those 2 up? 

'Cause he looked extraordinarily like Kaver...

Every minute their feathers get longer and more float-worthy.  I'm trying to not be too nervous... any of the Kodak broods could have easily been blown off-I think the playpen railing gave us a false sense of security.  And peregrines have evolved to nest at great heights.

Rhea Mae stopped in for a quick visit

A nice video in the Detroit News featuring Mark Nash and the Ambassador bridge eyases!

I just had to look at Lou's pictures again to refresh my memory...the front by the main cam is the furthest drop.  The south side isn't as bad as it seems.  Not great, but there is a ledge not that far below.

And the surrounding neighborhood isn't half bad either...

(again, thanks Lou!)

Lots of landing choices at various heights if they have enough wing power to float and stay out of the street.

  

They showed a clip of a man talking about "just trying to get a closer look at the nest" when the mother Peregrine attacked him.    

I figured he must have been up to something for Mom to go after him.  Nice story!

Lightening the load before hopping back into the box

Callidora's got the little hop-flap into the box down pat...out of the box, not so much (didn't capture it)

Thank you Joyce!  What a wonderful gift!   And thank you to the team for getting it working!  

Then right back into the nest box sleeping cuddled up with Orville like nothing happened!
