Look at how those tail feathers are growing 

I can't believe it either.

Ivy (I think) just brought a snack and everyone seems quite interested.

[Stormy]

I've been reading the posts and appreciate all the play by play over the last few days.  The photos are spectacular!

Something I saw that's quite funny - I saw one of the chicks scratching his behind with his wing . . . just saw it again now.  Quite cute.

Yummy snack right in front of the camera    Chicks huddled at centre back of the nest box.  Its looking pretty dull in their living quarters right now............sun will be wonderful when it arrives tomorrow

Just to confirm what others have suspected ... one of the adults is in the box with the chicks ... not sure who it might be, but they are there ...
Personally, I suspect its Ivy getting out of the rain ... 

Yes, the Kinderchicklets and I saw that at school this morning! When one of the 'chicklets called me over to the computer to take a look, I could hardly believe my eyes!

And the prize goes to TPC ...

Well, I don't know about that, TPC! The 'chicklets thought it looked like Ivy too, so you may just need to share the prize!

And the prize goes to TPC ... the adult just flew out of the nestbox, couldn't stand the harrassment for food I suspect (he had been the one to feed them last) and when they got to the edge of the box, the birds stopped shook out his/her feathers and I could see his/her left foot perfectly - no coloured band, so that would be Ivy ... Princess' coloured band is on her left leg, Ivy's is on his right and both/either would have been clearly visible.

Not sure Princess would have been able to fit in there with four wet and begging kids .... not sure she would have been able to tolerate it either.  Ivy seems to be a much more, lets say, laid back kind of male ... 

Absolutely, the prize belongs to TPC, with very high honorable mentions to Dennis, Larry (Eye Spy), Dr. Bob and all who have assisted them to share their knowledge here on the forum. Thank you very, very much for the peregrine education.  All my respect to all, GCG

Wish I could see the colour of that one's tape around the ankle. Then I could tell if it's a male or a female. Anyway, he/she's walking up close to the camera with either a few bones or feathers in it's beak. Mmmmm! 

[Ellie]

Another "chick made" black out    Not only the chicks, but my screen went totally black as well

[Ellie]

They  must have just had a feed as I can see the four of them right in front of the cam but can see daylight between them.  Probably will settle for a nap and then nothing will be seen again.  Must be warm and out of the wind in the corner where the cam is.

[Ellie]

One big fuzz ball right over the camera .................can't see a thing!
