It's really good to know that they are extremely relaxed and look quite comfy!

Nice!  Looks like it maybe a bonding ritual for future relationship.(?)

Smiley was at the box before the rain started but now it seems that they are both off keeping dry somewhere else ...

Smiley has spent most of the day at the box enjoying the sun and not too hot temperatures



This is his impersonation of what he does to the birds he catches  ::) :-X ;D

So accommodating of these two to stick around for us to enjoy :-*

Where will they go when they leave us, TPC?  Is it possible that they'll hang around the Radisson territory until it's time to migrate?

Seems to me, that Smiley and Princess are hanging out longer than in other years after their chicks have fledged.  Now that could be because they lost their chicks early in the season, or perhaps it is the difference between Smiley and Princess as a pair and Trey and Princess as a pair.  Or perhaps he is taking his cues from her and she is older now and more willing to take it a bit easy where she is comfortable.  Whatever the reason, it is nice to still see them around so much on-camera.

A cold front coming across the Red River Valley Saturday afternoon will combine with a warm and humid airmass that could create some severe storms.

Somebirdie just went into the box, Not sure who. That would be what I would do with today's weather forecast, hot, humid AND windy!  Gasp! For me, another bad allergy day.

Lovely day in the nestbox - Smiley has been hanging out looking beautiful on the edge of the box most of the morning.  Princess has been hanging out as well - couple of waltzes with her man and a nice long (2hr+) nap on the box edge.

Any more observations on the defunt eggs and what may have happened to them?


One egg is still on the ledge for sure - can see it at a distance as it has lightened in colour.  Can't see the other two that survived the deluge - I would expect that they were removed by someone or something.  Never did know what happened to egg four, it just wasn't there after the rain.
