Yes the kids have been fed once so far as I read.  And to Dennis, I know exactly what it is like taking over a thousand pictures and then going through em all to  pick the better ones!!!!!

Have the parents visited/fed the Brandon chicks in their new home?  They look so lonely!

Oh yeah, so neat to watch you snapping away Dennis. We always get to see your finished product, all those great pictures. It was kind of fun to watch you working your magic during the banding. :D

Tracy told me I couldn't log into the forum until the photos are done and her copy is ready...this is my coffee break  :P
Banding went well and the only problem I had to deal with was the gray overcast sky...after some adjustments it appears things went well  :-\
Huge Thanks to Pam for lending me her 100-400 lens  ;) :-*
There are a few photos to go through so you will have to be patient  :-\

Absolutely GREAT videos, rcf! :-* I LOVE the video of the dive bombing, not that I loved seeing any of the "team" getting dive bombed. ;) So glad to hear that the day went so well for all concerned. So are you saying that the new nestbox is just sitting on ground on the lower roof? ??? I'm trying to get a picture of it in my mind. And if this is a temporary nestbox, why did you change it right now, TPC? ??? Just wondering.

Is there a place to donate to provide for new box.

There will be in a couple of days Bev - we've had enough requests that I'm going to set up a separate online donation tool and update the mail-in donation form. 


I will keep checking when I can.

I'm glad the banding went well.  Thanks for the videos, RCF!  Looking forward to seeing the event on Youtube.   :)

(I don't like this view of the boys - they seem so far away :P)  Haven't seen a feeding yet though, so maybe it'll be better then)

I'm sure there must be a quote somewhere as to where this huge nestbox is - i'm wondering if it's on the very top of the roof or lower where you put the ladder to go up to fetch the chicks?

The box is on the lower roof floor directly below the old one. ;)
