One chick sitting in the outside portion of the nest box, just looking about.
Don't know where the other one is.
Okay, now that chick has disappeared.
Now she's back. ::)

TPC:  Are the chicks likely to hop out onto the ledge and practice running and wingercizing there before fledging? I recall that the chicks did that two years ago.
My question is answered: I just saw one chick hop down for a wingercizing session.

I have been watching the chicks on the ledge and hearing tempting calls from a parent. I no longer see two. Did I just miss a fledge?

From sound asleep to frentic disco moves in 10 minutes!!!   ;D

Disco moves, huh, we used to dance the bird but it wasn't this dangerous. ;D

Ouf, okay, they are both inside with their tails sticking out.

YIKES, lots of yelling and dancing and flapping going on - on the edge of the box - by both girls!  :o

One of the girls is napping on the box edge, the other has decided she wants to be more comfortable and is inside napping

Radisson girls are 39 days old today - given the temperature, the wind and their behaviour, I think we may have a few more days to go, but they are smaller so will keep an eye on them today and update again tomorrow.

Unfortunately, this is just my assessment, the peregrines will do as they please without consulting us  :D

Nice to see "the girls" this morning, each perched up on a corner of the nest box. :)

I hope our girls don’t think about fledging for a while. It’s quite chilly, and I’d like to see them enjoy more snuggling time! :)

Yup - can only see "leftovers" in the nest box at the moment.
Must be awfully humid up there - camera view is foggy. ::)
