Chickita, "wingercizing" is when the chicks flap their wings like mad, exercising in preparation for the big day when they actually take off from the nestbox (fledge). I'm still very much in the learning phase of my time on this forum and I keep forgetting what I've learned ::) but I believe that we can expect fledging to occur at around 45 days from hatching - TPC is the Maven of all things Peregrine and she'll correct me if I'm wrong. And I didn't pay attention when wingersizing began in previous years, but it seems early with this crew ;D
Ellie:
Another nice day for the "Royals" 8) Little cool earlier on but actually quite nice right now. Babes all stretched out by the wall soaking the heat from the sun.

I've been noticing that wingercizing has started already - it's been happening for a few days actually. Don't know if it's the same chick, or if they're all taking turns, but it seems early :o Of course, these guys all seem very advanced :-*
Jo:
Snack time - Princess brought in lunch, told Ivy to scram and she's feeding the chicks in the corner with her back to us.
Someone was starting to wing-ersize just before lunch.
