One adult almost asleep at the nest box for a little while today. Looks like 19/K:

I was just about to close out of this site when both adults showed up. I had been wondering which parent I was watching earlier, but now I realize it was 19/K. Alley is on top of the nest box. She has a more pronounced malar stripe than 19/K. They left together.

Third:



Fourth: I think this is also a juvie.

There was a dark shape perched on the far side of the nest box earlier. This turned out to be one of the juvies. I'm always happy to see them visiting the nest.

Haven't seen any of the juvies today, but Alley and 19/K were both in the nest box.

"Bow lower":







One left, and one stayed (still there as I am posting this):

The box the birds are using this year (and have used in previous years) is being taken down at the end of this season so the Nebraska folks have installed a new nestbox for Alley & 19/K to get used to.  They didn't choose the new one this year, but they won't have an option next year.  I haven't seen any images or description of the new box, but it might be that it has easier access for both people and the webcam ...
This is from TPC at the beginning of the season.  At the time they didn't know where the new box was located.

dunno, bev, but as I recall they are planning remove this box and put in a new one later this year.  maybe that one will have a perch.

This nest box has had a lot of traffic today. One of the parents came back:



Then, another juvie arrived. I think this is a different juvie - one of the big girls this time. She stayed for quite a while.

I looked away from the cam for a few minutes, and when I looked again, something was different. Now there was a juvie in the nest:
