4:02 my time and I am now seing all four youngins. One on top of the camera at the nestbox, one on the ledge flappings it's wings and the other two were by the nest box but have since moved out of line of the webcam.

lol your welcome   I saw the band of this crew and hadn't checked in a couple of weeks, man did they ever grow fast.  LOL I love watching them walking along the ledge, it's too funny.  I checked this morning and they were all up close and personal with the camera, all you could see was feathers

ooops, he just looked to have walked off the ledge, but I guess there's a bit of ledge around the cam.  Suddenly I saw wing flapping, and he sauntered back into view.  Or at least the legs did.  Neat how close up we see them.  Thanks for getting me to look at this cam Eagle.

Finally, a young one has shown up again.  Looking around,  "Hey where is everyone?"

It's 3:02 EST or 2:02 CST Saturday afternoon and I am watching the Ohio webcam, I can see two youngins. One was on top of the webcam pointing into the nest box. Then another one was underneath the webcam. The one on the camera hopped down and has sure been doing a lot of wing flapping and squawking. Standing almost on the edge of the ledge at one p oint, makes me nervou watching.

SGB, that was a super job you did - what a hoot!!!!!  I'm getting a bit worried at how many cams there are for us to watch - time management is becoming a problem!

Thanks for the heads-up SBG!  I had to laugh, kind of in disbelief, when the chicks were grabbing the prey away from the parents and the parents looked so stunned, but especially when the chicks chased the parents off the ledge -- that really surprised me!  Is that normal behaviour, do you know? Similar to teenage-like behaviour demonstrating independence, cutting of the 'apron strings' ?

Just a head's up to all...Keep your eyes on the cams....Sunday, the oldest chick will turn 40 days old.  Fledging will start soon...The kids have really been flapping and running back and forth on the ledge.  They are becoming quite assertive..grabbing prey from Scout and Orville...and even chasing the parents off the ledge...I'm starting to see more frequent fly-bys by the parents...coaxing them to fledge?  I have no clue...but its been very cool watching them zoom by...

Wow I just checked the webcam in Ohio, those four sure have grown. One is standing next to the webcam along the ledge and flapping it's wings like crazy. Talk about up close and personal. They sure changed in just a couple of weeks wow.
