Hi All,
As RCF mentionned, both the chicks are male and look fine. Very very feisty, loved to grab hold of my fingers (not in a nice way) and even nibbled on my fingers some. Sorry gang, we thought we had sound for the banding, but no worries, you will catch up on the all noise (be sure to watch your volume!) when the video is posted.
"New" box is only temporary. Real new box will go back where the old one is - safer and more secure for the birds - and we are still going to install it later this summer so that it is ready for the birds' arrival next spring. This box will probably only be around for a couple of years while the building is undergoing renovations. Gives us some flexibility as the work continues around the birds.
It was mostly overcast but Dennis as he was shooting photos but he does have some charmers in the bunch, particularly of the chicks being exceedingly cute when they arrived in their new digs. The weather was a bit cool, but since we all had work to do on the roof, no one got cold. Afterwards we had a great lunch with good company and then it was time to head on off home, etc.
We have a short list of names for the Brandon boys ... should be posting them in the next day.
TPC
