Well, I am glad some of you got to watch....I think I'm as pooped as the kids...I think that was Orville (Male) at the very end...the color was a tad distorted so I couldn't give the beak a good look over...(Scout's beak is very pale compared to Orville's) Both parents are still on the ledge, the kids are zonked in the box...Scouts in front of the box...peering in...I wonder if she is tentative about going in...this is her first time going through something like this. But she is usually the calmer of the two...she was probably the parent that stayed on the ledge while the "bad men" were out there...Orville was doing fly-bys. I have tons of pics...maybe I'll get them organized and put them in a slide show. I'm thinking they will probably post the banding on the Columbus blog once it is ready though...

That was just way too cool to be able to watch that process from the moment they went to get the chicks to the moment they took them back. Yeah Tracy I wondered if it might have been the male sitting on the ledge when they went to put them back in the nestbook. I can't imagine being inches away from the vocal youngins, I really would need to turn my hearing aids down in that situation.

1302 hrs (our time) - the Columbus project staff left the roof.
1303 hrs (our time) one adult ont he ledge immediately in front of the nestbox, other adult still patrolling overhead. Based on size (though I don't know how far away the camera is) it looked like the male in front of the box. Calm male actually, he wouldn't move off the ledge when the project staff came out, then hopped back on the ledge almost before the last one left.
The birds should settle down in anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.
