I agree KC - great photos!  I wonder if he'll wait until his bother is ready to go with him.  They've done everything else together :-\

This was probably Rosser and he was having a little nap I guess. He had his eyes closed and before I left he turned around to face north. This was 3:45pm today.

Thanks Rose.......just happy to have an answer of somekind.  Sooooo quiet..........it's difficult.  Will be the norm from now on I guess :(
I wasn't much help but once the chicks fledge they probably won't return to the roof, at least in 2009 and 2010 the chicks never went back to the nest box too many other places to explore and play on. RCf will be posting a photo taken after work.

Leana.........check your personal messages.!

Keep looking and looking .........no babies.  Seems to have clouded over in Brandon as the shadows have gone.  RCF or Rose have you had a chance to see where the chicks are lately.  Probably on the wall surveying the landscape and where they are going to go play one of these days soon ;D
Maybe we will see them later, I hope.  A ray of sunshine showed up again.  That is good!
The sun is to the west of the building, there has been sun almost all day only a few small fluffy clouds. haven't seen Rosser since this morning, any time I've seen a chick by the ladder its been Rain and I haven't heard from RCf all day so I guess I'm not much help, sorry.

Just checked the cam ..........alas no chicks......but, if you look at the ladder you can see they have been there........little fluffies caught in a spider web and flapping in the breeze. ;D

I am feeling very nostalgic these days.  Guess it's cuz these guys are about to fly the coop and they are the last babies we have to watch.   :-[ :'(  I keep thinking of the slideshow RCF posted back in mid June.  I giggle every time I watch it and think it bodes reposting for ol' times sake!  Watch and enjoy.  ;)

Hey Leanna,

The Elk River chicks are younger than ours and fun to watch as well.  I'm at work, so can't dig out the info now, but someone else might provide you with the link, or check out the USA peregrines - they're in Minnesota.  I can find it once I'm home later if you haven't found it by then.  I'm off topic - whoops

Am watching one on the ladder and can't believe that the "white fluff" is gone...maybe a speck or two..wow...before we know it they will be out flying about.  Great for them but  oh so lonely for the rest of us. :(

Great ride around with the webcam looking for the chicks.  Gives me a great perspective of the lay off the land on the rooftop. Ah ha! There they are! :D

Lots of room for little falcons to run around and practice their flying skills.  ;D

Right now they are perched on top of some outgrowth on the building. LOL  Not sure what it is - solar panel, vent...??  Anyways, they seem to like it.

It's a skylight and RCF said Rosser actually took a mini-flight off of it a few days ago!  :o

At least it is not a long way down! :D  Great place to practice and build confidence.

Yesterday Rosser had a long flight across the floor about the height of the sky-light made a little turn and landed on the south west corner then had a brotherly confortation with Rain.
