No eyes in my view, Liz (except the Peregrine eyes of course ;D)

My pic isn't great - there was an eye floating around until the stream caught up.  Is it just me or are others having a pb?

All four are there now, with a lightening storm going on in the background :o.  The birds seem very unimpressed  8)

I'm so glad you've seen them -- everytime I check in, they've flown the coop!

 All 4 lined up, then a parent flies in around 11 pm Pacific coast time, and all juvies start screeching.   After a check around for a few minutes, parent flies off.
Same thing happened last night.  Wonderful to see 5 peregrines all together.

A little noise now, some preening.

These guys are so cute - all lined up in a row, settling down for the night.  Three facing out and one facing in.

This is from yesterday. Something is going on below the nest and the two female chicks are very vocal.

Didn't realize how high I had the volume turned up (don't really think it was all that loud) when I checked out the video - I'm sure the neighbours could have heard the chicks, even with all doors and windows closed!

4 pm  One was in the box and two on the roof. You can't see the ones on the roof very well because the elk river logo is blocking the view.

They're out of the nest box this morning, so can't see them, but I just heard some squawking, so they can't be very far away :)

Thanks for the capture of the babies asleep, rcf.  I love that sight!
