Falcons are doing great here, as you can see its appears one of the cameras is now pointing skyward, lucky it the older camera and not the clear one, still it was panned out so as they get out the next box we will quickly lose sight of them  - Meanwhile its a glorious spring day and one of the guys is sunning himself, actually he looks like he was shot and flopped flat out, I included a second picture showing him moving around to squelch any rumors of his demise..

Looking doubtful for camera 1, but I caught the crew hanging today, amazing how fast they grow. They walk very well and on the stream, you can see them calling out  all the time. I suspect we will start seeing feathers soon.

A-dorable! Thanks.

As soon as I posted Cam 1 came back!  And it seems zoomed in closer and in bertter focus. Caught a feeding, which this year is every hour or so it seems, so much that they just sit calmly in a rowwith no pushing and shoving..

Kids are growing fast, as you see rain (and we have 2 more days forcasted) has left the poor kids a bit soaked and a puddle looms in the background, but if you look close at the end of their wings you can see the feathers emerging!  Also, I have been informed banding day will be this Friday. What a difference a year makes, last year they were weeks behind Archer and Beauty and this year weeks ahead.  I guess all that hanky-panky by Archer slowed down the process!

  Remember when this nestbox had no pooh on it?

Off and on heavy rain last night has left the box a bit of an island, not to worry, can't get any deeper.  just a big puddle..

Timing is everything, I knew DEP was coming in but my schedule did not permit,damn job alwasy gets in the way! Anyway, in case you were not lucky to catch it, just after 11AM they went out, boxed them up and banded them, Mom, spent her time glaring, very stressed as you can see, when replaced, one eyas was outside the box, but mom lured it back somehow (food most likley,  anyway I good shot of the eaterfront property too
