Any idea when we'll be switching to the 'SkyCam' TPC, or Eye-Spy  ???

Oh oh oh, I know the answer to that one !     8)

 A little after 10:00 on Canada Day - boys on the edge of nestbox, looking like pros :o :o and girls looking very interested in getting up there - oops, one of the boys just hopped down.  Looks like his sister is yacking at him...the girls seem so much bigger than the boys.  Difficult to tell from this angle.  Doesn't matter!  I love them all! :-*

TPC just posted info to tell them apart - now the other boy has jumped off and all four are in the nestbox. :-* :-* :-* :-* Someone just jumped up again.  These guys are not relaxing one little bit - they're determined to grow and get going.  Second boy back on the edge... 8) 8)

Only the boys have ventured onto the box edge so far and none have tried to jump down on the narrow building ledge that runs to the left from the nestbox along the side of the building.  Yellow male has the least fluff, white male is the smallest, green female is the smaller of the two females and red female is the larger and the chick with the most fluff.  And yes, the tape is still on everyone's leg bands and will definitely make it much easier to id the birds when they do start flying - well, as long as they show us their feet!

It looks to me like one is on the ledge with one of the boys on the far side! Maybe she is just big enough to look like she is sitting up there with him.

 :D I am complete agreement, two on the ledge, one with one talon up, the 4th under the ledge in the "shade". Each time I look, there is less and less white fluff. Is fledge near?  :'( :'( :'(

Was one of the girls on the ledge?  With the afternoon glare and lens decoration I'm not sure if she was just on for a brief time beside one of her bros.  Now one girl is napping and the other looking out, with the boys sitting on the ledge.

Missed the food fight, but now have the dubious pleasure of watching someone (is that Ms. Green?) voraciously devour dinner.  @#$%!  View is freezing - I get a couple of minutes of lovely streaming before the freezing sets in.  Well, lovely girl is still enjoying her snack...

Yup!  Two on the edge now and two considering.  Looks like they're having a discussion about the pros and cons of being "on the edge" ;D

Someone is right on top of the camera - looks like a boy - I'm sure I saw a yellow band.  Can't see anybody else, but I'm sure everybody is trying to stay cool - not an easy task as it's 29 currently, I believe... :P :P

The chick in front of the camera is a male, male 10 over X and yes, he does have yellow tape on his silver FWS band.  He's the one who first started hopping up on the box edge.

Just so y'all know ... everyone is in the box at the moment, hanging out in the shade ...
