Where ever they are, I hope they are together chatting about their lives and how they grew up and why oh why do they have to fly when life was so good at the nestboX - what with all the shade, a balcony to hang on and free room service :P
Now we know where all the heat went, I swear to you - this summer has been for the ducks out here in the east..lol..and in fact one day in the driveway of my building there was a huge puddle and 2 ducks swimming in it - I kid you not, I just burst out laughing when I saw that :o ;D
Pchemist:
I hope they have shade too! I can relate.
We're under a heat advisory that will last until Sunday night, and will probably hit 40C for the next three days. Even when it's dry, that's hot (though I can still hang out in the shade if there is a breeze).
I wish I could go see them, but it'd be a bit of a hike! Thanks for the pictures. :D

Going to be another scorcher today.
Peter and I went for 4 hours last night and I was very frustrated. Only saw mom on her balcony on her building , then I went behind the nest box building and I heard cacking (not as loud as before but cacking) Feathers wee flying and 2 people sitting there said that an adult had been on the back tower and then moved over one and then disappeared. there was no cacking heard at the front as normal and no juveniles in site. A bit later mom came over and sat on a ledge adjacent to the nest box . a bit later we are 95 percent sure a juvenile flew from behind the heart building to the roof of the nest building(the upper roof) It was cacking as it came in and mom did not budge. I thought it was an adult at first until it started to walk the upper ledge with wings out. the chest was brown . I walked and then disappeared behind the white thing at top.
Mom sat on her perch for about 2 hours and no sound or movement anywhere else.
About 7:30 m0m flew to the top of her building looking all over. I think looking for dad.
After about 30 minutes she flew right over the nest building roof and disappeared behind. Peter went behind the building and saw mom on pillar at the back of the roof and then she disappeared form view.
Later I saw her fly out the front
No sounds were heard.
so the best that I can tell you is I think they are up on the roof. It is very long and wide and I hope there is shade and I believe at least one is flying :-\ :-\

8:36 am EST and another sunny, hot day for Cassie and her new 'sis', no sign of activity at the nest box so far.
