Yep, I was up early enough to witness them take off this morning :)

Dittp, RCF. Sad to think that in a few minutes they will take flight for the day. They are predicting a high of 37C today. Humidex?

yeah, it's getting too dark.  Third kid must be snoozing away somewhere else.  Or possibly on the ledge?!?  Guess we'll never know.  They're up and gone before we are in the a.m.  Well, before most of us, that is... ::)

They look like statues sitting there.  I keep checking to see if the cam has frozen...

No way to tell who's who now, the light is too poor.  We'll have to wait for TPC to replay the video and see if she can tell who it is.

Not sure if in fact we saw all three kids just before it got dark.  I think the two boys came in, then one took off then she turned up on the nestledge and hoppped up on the box and stayed.  Either that or it was Beatrix and one of the boys, then she left, then came back.  It was very fast so I'm just not sure ... sorry

I was hoping for an eye witness account today but I guess it was just to darn hot.

The birds look hot with their wings spread out to cool themselves a bit.

Too wicked hot indeed, lifo!  And as TPC says, if it's too hot for us, it's too hot for the birds as well and it's unlikely we'd see much action. :P

The one on Cade's corner appears to have a light colored band. Wasn't Beatrix's band green?

Just looks too skinny now to be Bea, but I agree, Leanna, he/she looked larger when she got up from the ledge.  If the third kid would just show up, it wouldn't matter and we could all relax for the night! :)

That looks like the two boys to me ???  Seem the same size plus looks like a light-coloured band on the one closest.

I'm pretty sure the closest one (on Cade's Corner) is Bea.  I saw her come up from the ledge and you could see her "largess" shall we say?   :D

Aren't we just the spoiled & lucky ones, getting to see our kids come home each night!  Assume it's Bea and Carson like last night... sure wish Cade would come back too so we knew they were all OK.  But it is certainly a delight to see these two.  And hopefully they'll keep coming back for a few more nights.  Sleep well my fiercely cute fledglings!  :-* :)
