Thanks for the update Moonstar.  I've been away and hardly had a moment to check in here, nevermind all the other cams I'm interested in.  

I hope they can find the fledged chick and know its oaky.

Hoshi, one of the female chicks accidentally fledged here.  They are assuming she is okay and the parents are feeding her where ever she is.

Wow, banding already! Seems early but probably right on time for this site.  Shows how far behind our kids are.

Chicks were banded yesterday.  I think there are two males and one female.  I read the blog this morning at home.  I can't access the blog at work but I can see the cams.

Chick pile there right now with an adult sitting outside the nest box on the ledge.  I can't believe how they have grown.  You can see dark feathers already.

2014 NESTING SEASON

Great news, Spark & Durand are back for the 2014 season.  They have four eggs this year.  The first hatched on April 26/14.  As of the morning of April 27/14, there were two chicks.  The third chick hatched on Tuesday April 29/14.  

The last report on the web blog was:

Both adults are doing an excellent job of caring for the clutch--Spark is providing food while Durand is doing most of the feeding and brooding.  There are currently still only 3 chicks hatched. While it is possible the 4th egg may still hatch, as more time passes the chances of having 4 chicks does decrease. But, only time will tell and we're certainly not ready to say another hatch won't happen. Stay tuned...

She's pretty feisty. Hope when she leaves fledges, she doesn't do the "Durand Dive".

It's a girl!!  It's nice that they let people come and watch the banding.  :)  I guess it is still stressful for the birds regardless of how many people are there.  :-X

Here is a link to three videos of the banding posted by skybluegirl from BCAW

Zoom has been banded and they are just putting him/her back on the ledge (wouldn't you know I missed the actual banding)
