The female is getting better at getting up on the ledge - that's a good thing, more practice = less of a chance she'll accidentally fledge early in the process

Okay little ones, off the edge of the ledge.  Jump back into the nest area please.

Watching the chicks, I don't yet have the sense that he is itching to leap ... maybe it is the time of the day, but it is warm (not hot), with a light wind and its quiet, all of which are favourable fledging conditions.  Mid-afternoon is not a common time to fledge so maybe tomorrow morning? Or the morning after or the morning after ... up to him basically ..

My daughter is coming home to get married later this week and is bringing 23 of her Australian friends with her.  As much as I don't want a fledge cause I just enjoy keeping track of the birds, I really need this to happen so I can get on with things.  Stopping by the cams every morning really stalls my progress in terms of getting the day started.   :-\ :-\

Chicks were both still huddled up against the nest ledge in the shade till just a few minutes ago. Now the "male" has just hopped up on his regular perch - the drain grate. Now back down again. They seem to be looking out & about - maybe waiting for Sunday morning a food drop. :) Ah! Now "male" has hopped up on the nest ledge.

Well they've been called stinker and terror enough.  Those are good names for them considering they are scaring the daylights out of us.

Am I the only person wondering if the male is still on the ledge and just out of view?

I think he is on the drain cover, you can see a bit of his tail.
