skygirlblue:
Thanks for posting that, Aline..
The Fab Four are growing by leaps and bounds everyday. They are now spending the majority of their day outside the nest box, exploring the lower ledge. I just saw Scout arrive with large prey a few minutes ago...I swear it looked like she was trying to entice the kids to jump up on the upper ledge with her. (its quite wide, from a falcon's perspective..but very windy there today) But being a good mom she hopped down onto the lower ledge and fed them their feast..Of course all of this was my interpretation... ;D I love the way she continues to remain on the ledge...watching over her sleeping babies...
Aline:
I am not sure anyone posted the video of the banding event. For the interested, here it is, it is about an hour long.

Enraptured:
Thanks for the announcement yesterday just before the banding! I got it in my regular email and quickly got on the site and caught the whole thing - and with two windows open I was able to watch the parents on the ledge while also watching the banding. It was so neat. I felt badly for the parents, but it was so interesting to watch them wait together. I'm glad SGB reported when the feeding happened. I had to go before that, but I was wanting to see how long it would take for all to settle down and get back on track.
I don't envy TPC and anyone else out on the ledge for our banding. I imagine P & T will be rather upset! Earplugs, helmet, and body armour anyone?!?
Thanks again!
The Peregrine Chick:
If you can't see the chicks in the box cam, check the ledge cam and keep your eye on the spot right under the camera - the chicks are sitting right there in the box cam's blind spot. Today, its just heads you can see. When they get a bit older they will be able to get up on the ledge, but not quite yet or at least not without some help from a sib!
The Peregrine Chick:
Can't see anything in the nestbox cam view, but the chicks are old enough to start wandering so its possible they are out and about, its a long ledge and I can see a couple of blind spots. At the moment, one of the adults is standing right in front of the ledge camera - can almost read the band number tha's how close it was to the camera.
Will see what I can find out though ....
