Well, wasn't that wonderful! I was just getting up, when my little dog began barking and growling. Upon checking, it was our computer screen that she was barking at. :o One of the juvies, possibly Cade, because I once caught a glimpse of his leg and his band appeared to be white. He flew in around 7:00 AM, to have breakfast on the ledge! :D It was a great display of plucking and eating. And now, he just flew off.

Cade, if he still is the only one home, just loomed large in silhouette and I think moved inside the nest box.

Do you know where Princess & Ivy hang out for the night, TPC? Is it usually near the nestbox, if their "kids" are home for the night?

I think he's being Mr. Courteous, Considerate Cade, allowing us to see the beautiful lights of the city and not realizing that it's his silhouette against those light that we love so much :)

At least it's a nice shot of two wing tips!  ;D

...Silver band is on the right and it has white tape on it, which means its Cade.  Cade is also the most golden of the three chicks as I recall ...
Cade sure does love his home! :D He always comes home for the night. 8) I have a question, though, TPC... Do you know if the birds who come back to the nestbox in the evening actually remain there all night? :-\  

Yes they do.  Not only do they prefer not to fly in the dark but when they are on the box edge, there is enough light from street lights to be able to see their silhouettes right through until about 0530h (oh dark thirty to most of us) when they take off.

Little Stinker's being camera-shy tonight!

Tucked in close against the wall by the ledge cam and I can't catch so much as a feather of him with the skycam.  One of our few truly blind spots at the Radisson.

I'm not giving up hope yet! I predict we'll see them at... 9:45pm!    ;) ;D
And there is one of our birds, right on time! :D

I believe this chick-teen is Bea.  green band.

Sorry, black band on left leg which they all have.  Silver band is on the right and it has white tape on it, which means its Cade.  Cade is also the most golden of the three chicks as I recall ...
