Oh, this is great -- food tug of war in the nest tray! That's the first time I've seen one of the chicks hop back into the tray and I never expected to see the parent follow him in to take back the food!

You're welcome, Liz -- I've been watching them at work (very carefully!); it does become addictive. Speaking of that, in previous years, how long would the chicks stay around the nest area once they've fledged? I expect to go into withdrawal once they "leave home"!

Thanks for the play-by-plays Saoirse et al.  It's nice to know what giggles I missed during the day. 

TPC said banding will probably be Thursday or Friday.  She'll let us know.

;D  At my house when the babies are air conditioning...they get wood chips everywhere! drives me crazy!  ;D   


This is why I use corn cob, Holly-Birdeze!  They can't flap it out of the cage tray!

A piece of roofing paper. To bad it wasn't white - wouldn't heat. But the chicks find shade and also provides more breeze.

Has anyone heard anything about when the banding will be? Also, what is that "thing" flapping at the front of the nest ledge? Is it a bird or part of the roof?

Hi Tracy, I was just wondering if the cam will be left on during banding so we can catch some of the excitement?   ;D

Should of said I was excluding 2008. Was curious about behaviour of previous nestings on this ledge.

Apologize for spelling of nest. Was thinking of Trey who was hatched on this ledge. How many others were there?

Have not watched other chicks from this next ledge. Did they react the same as these ones behavior wise or was it different. These seem to be apart most of the time except at night?

Help!  I have fallen and can't get up.  The little one went to get out of its Lawnchair position and fell over.   ;D

You would honestly think the chick out front was sitting in a lawnchair at the beach and enjoying the view.   :)

bot, I'm very glad that the chicks systems are working so well. The balance thing could use some work, but all in good time. ;D
