Wonderful pictures Dennis.  Georgeous birds.  They just look so majestic.

I'm hoping those eggs just wait a teeny bit longer before hatching. Just til this RAINY patch is done - supposed to be alot of rain the next couple days (what else is new)    so any time after Friday should be fine!!

Not to worry Allikat, just might find myself there tomorrow

Was just out and about and happened (   ) to find myself by the W.W location. Saw Jules, perched on a corner of the building, having herself a fine old preen.
Talked to a couple of people in the area, and they're keeping the location quiet too.    Nice.

Nice to know that there are many eyes watching my boids   !!

Last check of the nest via cam, everyone looked fine - fluffed a bit because of the wind, but she, Jules, was tucked up and napping.  Checked again a few minutes ago and it looks like we will need to reboot the computer as I can't connect remotely right now.  Will let you know when we get back online ...

I am glad things are looking good here.

Cheeky, cheeky Dennis

And they are so so so cute when they do...well actually, they are cute regardless!

Me too, allikat!

Checked on Jules and Beau yesterday before the rain then this morning during one of the sunny patches and all looks good - still have all three of their eggs and they are pretty much velcroed to the eggs.  By about this point last year, we had lost the whole nest so (knock on wood) things look better this year and (knock on wood again and again) we will hopefully have chicks hatching out this weekend or more probably next week.

I repeat:
I'm getting very excited and anxious for this pair....I really want them to succeed this year!

With 3 "boidies", Ellie!

Don't want to jinx anything but just imagine two nests right in Wpg. with "boidies"

That's very good news to hear, TPC!
