I think in all your recent photos RCF that we can only see the feet on one of the chicks - yes?  I as because the feet on the bird on the left in your top photo below I am confident belong to a female!!

They are growing fast - same age as the Radisson birds and seemingly willing to take the next (big) step in their own time. Hopefully that attitude will serve them well!

These two were on the roof of the box today! I'm not sure of the gender now.....maybe two female or two male.  ???  If mom would hang with them it would be easier to tell. But that didn't happen today and they will be self feeding anyway.

Great shots RCF!
I'm going to guess and say - male & female this year :)

Thank you! That would be my guess too! :)

These two are losing all their white fluff and able see their lovely brown feathers.  They were watching mom, she had a pigeon on the northeast corner of the McKenzie roof which while was there never shared with the chicks, she cached it somewhere. Wingo was on the north side also.

Oh those two will be up on the edge of the nestbox sooner than we'd like!  :o

These two are getting well fed by the looks of it. Wingo likes to bring the marsh birds home.  He had an American Coot last week and just the other day he brought a Killdeer.

Thanks for all the updates and great pictures!  Yes hoping there is another one there that just wasn’t visible today.

We had some nasty weather here Friday where the wind and rain was from the northeast so directly blowing into the nest box. I did see three chicks in there on June 10th but today I am only seeing two.

June 10th ~ three heads



June 11th ~ very wet





Today ~ food arrived
