I love how these guys hang out together.  Two brothers, always close.  I wonder if they'll continue to hang out once they fledge - no doubt they'll be taking off from that building together :)

The boys look like they don't have very many white feathers left.  :(

 I've been wondering... is Rosser significantly bigger than Rain or is it just an illusion?  I guess Tracy would know best... watching them on the cam it sure looks like Rosser is bigger.

I think Rosser is a little bit bigger, also they don't look exactly alike. They do have their differences, even their little faces are different from each other. Rosser is a little older and more active than Rain and I think even Tracy has trouble telling them apart without seeing the colored tape on Rosser's band.

It's actually a transmitter/antenna and they both have them.  There is a research study being performed and these transmitters will be used to track where they are at all times.  Details can be found in this thread.

I heard that they had transmitters on but I did not know that it would be a big antenia sicking out of them not sure if I like that to much I will go read up on it though thank you Leana for the info I thought I was seeing things lol.

Hello everyone been awhile since I have been on but I have been veiwing the little cuties in brandon and gotten rather attached to Rain and Rosser love to watch the mischeif they get into every day  ;D  I notice one of them has something sticking out of his back I am hoping its just a feather but just wanted to be safe and ask Tracy it has me a little worried.

Sorry folks, busy day today, we will try to check the cameras every time we get a chance so hopefully the chicks will settle down for a midday nap or at least hang out in one place for awhile ...
