With all the excitement with the Radisson fledgings this past week I haven't been watching these guys as much and WOW  :o  have they ever grown and changed!!!  Unbelievable how fast those flight feathers come in!  And it is great to see them (altho' half the time we don't actually get to see them!) on that much bigger and safer roof top.  Good call TPC!!!

I love how they run around on this roof - they seem to move quite a bit faster than when in a smaller space like the nestbox.

On my little trip around the roof looking for the chicks, noticed that the lake is no more ... maybe a with the forecasted rain they will have their puddle back, maybe not ...  :-\
...no offense, but let's hope no more rain for awhile...

I quite agree Jadoo *nods*, however, when I see Rain or Rosser standing there looking at the big dry spot the were puddling in a few days ago, then I will admit I want a bit more wet for them.  :-\

I see one Brandon chick having a snooze in the shade right now. :)

 8) Rain and Rosser are huddled under an overhang and the gap distance is reminiscent of the old retired nestbox.  So cute!  ;D

Good - back he goes.  Not so much fun out there after all!  Maybe waiting for some brekkie before going back to snoozing.

Now, someone's decided to wander off the comfy spot and is standing in that hot sun - goofy kid!  His wiser brother is staying put :)

Two cuties in the shade. Is that a ledge of some kind they're resting on?  They look mighty relaxed  :)

Its a curved piece of roof flashing, so cool metal (its been in the shade pretty much all night) and cradle shaped, what's not to love on a hot day like today!  :D

Is that a chick at the back having a snooze.  Really hard to tell with the weeds, poop art et al.
