Briefly, a second Royal flew onto the ledge, exchange of words and flew away. Within two minutes, our overnight bird followed. Have a great day Royals.  :-*

A beautiful silhouette of one of our Royals sitting on the edge of the nestbox. In about 20 minutes, on schedule, (s)he will take flight for the day. When the cam shuts down, my morning coffee will not be the same. :(

If you can see its markings from that camera angle you have better eyes than I have, but it looks like its calling for room service, so I would bet its a juvie.

The fledglings are fully grown so there wont be any size difference (or much anyway) between the adults and chicks.

Well I guess we were right in what we saw. I totally agree with you and I did think it was asking for room service.

Yah, must be hot.  Bea didnt even go down into the nestbox.  There must be no breeze getting in there.  She is on the ledge beside the box.

But now that I think about it, Beatrix spent the first night by herself the day that Carson and Cade fledged.

If Cade is a no-show tonight, I think it'll be a first, won't it?  Hasn't he been back every evening since he fledged?
I believe you are right.  I was just thinking that he should have been banded with a Lady Gaga watch so he could tell what time to be in bed for the night!! :D ;D

Bea still on the ledge.  Looks like she is giving Cade lots of room to land on the nest box.  Now we just wait to see if he shows up.   :D

Ah, thanks, RG, I thought it was Cade. :-[ I'm really not very good at identifying the birds except for comparing sizes. ::) Didn't realize Bea usually comes home for the night before Cade.
