Two out on the ledge rungs now.  Parent came in with food a few mintues ago, beak fed one for 2 bites and then took off with the prey.

The boys still have a bit more white on them than I'd like to see before they take off but that last parental tease seems to have lured another outside and he started flapping. 

And yes Froona is the one with the 'puffaloons'!  Great Word!!

I am assuming that it is Froona with the most baby fluff and the noticeable "puffaloons".  The boys seem to have lost theirs now.  Second breakfast just arrived!  Great fun to be able to watch it all! :)

5:53 am EST and it's dark there  :o  I can see two on the outside cam view (Cam 3), looks like they are dozing on the edge of the nest box.

I have figured out a system with Peter.
He is going to come and post during the day if there is a fledge and he will say who fledged and where they went and if all is O.K.
I do not expect one tomorrow but I asked hubby if he would do that so you would not worry.
He will continue to do this while he is at work until fledge is over.


Great idea Bev...What a man!  Sounds like you've got everything under control!!

What a motley-looking crew!  You can sure see the size difference when they're on the ledge. 

Looking at those photos, I think you will have a few extra days before the kids start flying ... the puffaloons are a bit too big yet. 
"puffaloons"  ;D another good word!

Two of them were out on the wrungs earlier this morning Bev but the one jumped back into the box after awhile and hasn't gone back out onto them.

They have been flapping. I ma thinking tomorrow is a good day then.


I need today to rest so they better not try anything.

Missed shots on outside wrung yesterday as I was at Genesse but here is one this morning.
We had 2 horrible storms last night so it is good they had not fledged yet
