Please forgive my blog protocol/etiquette as this is my first time and I am probably doing this wrong.
Thanks for your report, Mr. Bev! Good to hear all is well with the about-to-be "fledglings"! You did just fine with your post!!! ;D

This is my first crack at this as I am doing this for my wife. So if someone out there can post this properly to the sites, I would appreciate it.

Bev called me and wanted to post that the chick on the platform is doing fine. It is the one with the white band (youngest male). It got a food drop today and is getting plenty of wing exercise.

The other 3 have been fed and doing well. The other 2 males are flapping and going on the rungs and the roof of the nest box. Bev is down there all day and I will join her tonight after work. She has some help from other fledge watchers as well.

Please forgive my blog protocol/etiquette as this is my first time and I am probably doing this wrong.  Carly, sorry about last night, my phone went dead    (MR. BEV)

Leaving office now for not so top secret mission...to Wal Mart to buy new coffee machine to replace one that blew up this am. 

Keep an eye on the poor juvie on the roof if you can until I get home...I'm scared he might fall as he's trying so hard to get out of the sun over there.

That one on the top in the far corner reminds me of Cassie last year..she did the same thing trying to get shade.  Hope he doesn't tumble...

Good morning!  Thank you Eli for the report!  It's 6:04 am and I can see a dark silouette out on the wrungs and I think 2 huddled in the nestbox.  Hope our lone wanderer passed a good night.  Should be an exciting day today as no doubt he will be forced to fly for food  ::)

That's great Eli!  Thanks for the report.  Nice to hear what is going on when we don't get to see!  Have a good rest and a great day tomorrow!

Just got back from my falcon fledge shift at the Clinical Sciences Building, where I joined Bev, Peter and two other devoted falcon watchers.  The male chick on the lower part of the white structure is safe.  He would prefer to be back in the nestbox, but cannot figure out how to do so, especially with so many bars in his way.  He is o.k., and of course the parents know where he is, but he did not get fed at the 8:30 p.m. feeding, so he is not a happy camper.  He is not starving, though, and we believe the adults are trying to get him out and and about.  We will see how things go with him tomorrow.  We all left about 9:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time as it looked like the parents were tucking in for the night, after dad finished his meal on a near-by building.  Bev will be out there again first thing tomorrow, and I will be there again tomorrow night.  I believe we have a pretty good group together of falcon watchers, so if anything should go amiss, we will be there. 

I am sure Bev will report later when she gets home - she had a long day now there. 

That's all for now, folks.

None of them look distressed.  Perhaps that means that the one on the lower platform doesn't seem to be "lost" or making any distress calls either?

Have a good sleep, carly!  :)

I think we can see 3 of them, and Peter (Mr. bev) can see the other.  Cam 1 has 3 birds.  We just can't see the boy on OUR left-hand side of cam 3 thru sis.  She's in the middle of cam 1.

Just spoke to Mr Bev  ;) and the male is still out on the other platform
That makes 4, right?

Well at least we know he's safe and they'll keep him fed.  At least it's not raining  :P

I'm off to bed now, 5:30 am comes early!  Night and happy falcon watching!  I'll look for Bev's report first thing in the morning!
Night Carly!!!
