Now what is going on?  Been some screaming in the background. Now we have one, two birds in the box.  No, we have one looks like dancing out on the bars..  really looked like it. So windy... You guys should se this.. OMG... Too funny, the wind keeps lifting them right up straight about 6 to 12 inches I think.  Now all I can see is a wind flappin and seems the bird is still being lifted by the wind.  Wow....  It reminds me of the picture of Marilyn Munroe with her white dress swirling around her, There legs look so long.  Oh my this is too funny.. You guys got to look..  ;D ;D

Holy jumpings, thank goodness for the sound being back!!!  One, two three juvies came piling into the box,,,,, lots of screeching , could not tell exactly what all the commontion was about, but I think one of them had food,  then that one took off. The others shut up and looked down, and then another one left, finally the last one left after kinda sniffing around the box. Preety sure there was food involved and  maybe one was a parent that had the food even.  I don't know. It happened very fast.  lol   Fun fun.  ;) ;)

OMG one of the parents flew into the box with few, kids followed. Parents tries to get away withon of the kids yanking of the food and the food falls to the ground. Parents flies down, two kids follow, one was just on the railand just left,talk about action packed.

Oh my gosh, talk about windy there.  You of course can here it from the sound.  But just now a bird tryed to land on a bar, wings spread,, he/she got almost on it, then the wind picked her back up a few inches, she then kinda glided over to anther bar, could see her wings still spread and wind seemed to be buffiting (sp)her still. can't see her now it seemed that the wind carrryed her away.  lol..

hard to say eagle 63,  I was thinking that maybe one parent had shown up "with food" but was not letting her have it, perhaps encouraging the juvie to go training again!  lol  Needless to say, these days, there is much screeching whenever a parent shows up.  Lightning was ankle biting her Mom the other day.  lol. With food, without,, you pretty well can tell when a parent is near. lol.

I think all that screeching is them screaming for the parents to bring them FOOD, after all the parents have fed them all long and they come to expect it.

Must have been mom or dad.  Seems siblings can do as they please.  lol 8)

Sound is back!  ;D  you may need to pause and play again to get it.  I did so for another reason, but when I came back it was full sound (lots of wind).

Heh - one of the kids is eyeballing the camera.  What a great view!  Wish I could capture images for you but I can't.  Sorry!  This is really adorable!

That is a great picture of the sleeping falcons posted by Aline.  I am thrilled to see that the kids (I presume it is the kids) are all safe and well!

Oh, another one is on the perch just out of view - you can see tail and wing coming in.  It's clear they are having a conversation but we can't hear it!  frustrating.

A chick is visiting again - looks like a male based on size.  Got to see him land on the perch outside and then fly into the box - no more awkward hopping and hopping and then getting in.  Getting much more confident!   ;D
