Jemison conserving energy after eating, or too full to go over the bar.

Callidora just can't make up her mind where she wants to be.

I think they both want to be 'up there' with mom and dad!  Just waiting for their learners' permits.

Heart-in-the-throat time coming with these two!

This is awesome!  You guys are spoiling us viewers.  Thanks!

All four are now venturing up and down the ledge.  Finally caught a shot of all 4 with one adult; two of the four are back in the box in this pic.  Dangerous time for these guys, traipsing on that ledge.

She jumped onto the platform, and sorta flopped back in.

 

Exactly what I thought when they took this pose!  They are cracking me up this afternoon.  Not getting any work done.

Deb

Let's see if we can both do it at the same time...ready...aim...

   

Not quite sure who this is in my grass.  In flight I thought young catbird, but looking at the pics the beak seems too wide at the base.

Looks like a female Brown-headed Cowbird to me.

I love the sideways head shot of the eyas on the left!

Donna, here's the link to the banding day photo.

Too cute.  2nd from right looks like a Marlene Dietrich pose - ready for my closeup, Mr. Demille!

Woodmen's Hera and Zeus have two boys and two girls.  Pictures of banding day to be posted on their site, hopefully today.

In the past, it has been done in the morning and everyone is back in the nest box by about midday.  The camera is turned off during the process.

The four Woodmen eyas are set for banding on Tueday, June 1.

Rochester twins shouldn't be too far behind, I would imagine.

So many little ones and so many web cams.  Life can be sooooo sweet!

Best wishes on your special day, Carol!  Maybe the 3rd egg will share your birthday!
