see Liz you noticed the gold on their chest markings, I notice it but can't tell the chicks apart by that.  So maybe me thinking it was Bullet by his face shape( I can't explain it) and you by the chest gold, and me by the white feet,,,,, thats 2 for Bullet.  lol..

I think that's mum eating, isn't it?  Gold chest.  Can't see if the markings are horizontal or vertical.  Someone came in with something very small in it's claw -- didn't even look like a bird.  I think it was her.  But then another came in and maybe they changed places -- not sure who had the handful.  

Yes, ballywing, things are definitely moving around! 

Oh, I forgot the photo of Bullet shows a gold chest too.  So much for that ID!  LOL


no yeller feet liz,, this ones feet are greyish white, and yup, tuffs of hair on crown, definetly a kid which one?  hmmmm, maybe bullet.  Lightening screams like she is hoarse. lol..... When they came in together, what I seen clearly was Mom for sure, big and yellow feet, ha ha, and this one, this one had the food!! a good sized something.  lol..

Whoever that is has a few tufts of mohawk left on its head  ;D - hard to tell now though! - my missing threads are back - but I KNOW they were gone before - I don't adapt well to change, learning curve etc... :P :P

seems llike a skinny face like bullet?  any thoughts ballywing?  If its lightening she sure learned how to fly very fast.  Cause that chick came in there with Mom just like he/she did it many times before.  Wow.  It could be her. my my.my.. 

yeah, its takin me awhile to find stuff on here..  Hopefully i will get the hang of it. right now I hate having to scrolll wayyyyyy down to the bottom of the front page to post for elk River. But it will be a moot point soon as they will be gone!   8)

He/ she was carrying it.. Wow, wow , wow, talk about training session.. That is what it is I think. Now they are sitting there lookin around and listening for sounds of someone else maybe coming to steal it!!  lol.... is it a boy or girl?  not sure..  gosh that was fun to watch.. unreal..

been back at the puter for about 40 minutes, have heard lots of screaching,, and flying , coming and going have not seen anyone in box.  I did see someone come in and leave again a few hours ago and didn't post it and no one else did either. Oh well. Seems they are all busy learning how to fly and hunt and all that fun stuff,  thats all that matters, and that they are all okay.   8) 8)

someone came in for a quick visit.  Had their back to me so I can't be sure it was a chick, but I think it was based on the landing.  Sat for a moment then hopped out to the far ledge, out of camera range,

then by the sounds of it she's doing what the parents do to train their kids how to get their own food, training in hunting.

I hear distant vocals, but no one to be seen.  I missed earlier sightings. ::)

no, she does not go in the box, and its not in the shade as you say,, she is lugging that food around with her everywheres.
