Something was going on here while the kids at the Radisson were getting banded.  Hurricane was not at all happy.  My guess would be there may have been someone on the mts tower across the street.

They were just fed a big meal. Afterward Brooklyn came and sat on the ledge, probably wanted to spend time with the kids. I watched him leave and go to the roof of the box, he didn't stay very long. Hurricane was yakking at him the whole time.

Are these babies close/passed the critical 10 days yet? So much rain....Scary for them and people also.
they are between 12 and 14 days old so they should be fine, as you can see they can be very active especialy when mom wants them under her :)

Just enjoyed a feeding.  I have two words for these chicks:  Adorable and adorable!!

After eating a huge amount, the kids did a little dance and got down tonight...for a nap :) :)

1840 hrs

The Brandon chicks are happily chowing down both are sitting up, nice and alert and dry.  Looks like today's rain did them little or no harm ...
Before mom showed up with the food one of the chicks tried to eat the board at the back. THey were so stuffed after supper looked like their crops would burst. It's been not a bad day here hasn't rained since early am and some of the time the sun was out.

Rose sent me this capture

Poor Brooklyn he's determined he's going to feed the chicks but Hurricane is just like her mother and is just as determined he's not LOL
