Both chicks have flown the coop.  They could be outside and below, or on the top of the nestbox, but until/if they move the cam to allow a fuller view, we don't know where they are.

It's a Girl!!!  Actually, 2 girls... possible future mates of our Radisson boys???

From the Elk River website:
June 25, 2012

The Raptor Resource Project was at the Elk River Energy Recovery Station today to band the two eyasses. Both falcons are female and appear to be healthy. They are now named Scout and Larissa! We’ve posted video and photos of the banding on our Facebook page. Check it out!

The photos of the banding on their facebook page are really cute!

I love this view.  One parent inside with the kids and one parent outside, watching over them and waiting for orders for take-out.

What an amazing video to watch! What a special relationship these 2 PF's have with their chicks and with each other. Thanks for posting this video of kittenface's, RCF. 8)

Perhaps he had to finish the bedtime story before he could give up his spot? 
This clip demonstrates clearly the size difference of females over males.
She really didn't have to say a word! 
Thanks for posting the clip, RCF.

So cute!  He's talking away to the babies and they're talking away to him and Mom just stares him down and moves in quietly and firmly...
