Great pictures but OUCH!!! You can see all the scars that our two banders have on their hands.

Love hurts. Well, banding with love hurts.

I wonder if it is anything like "teething" for our babies.  If it is they are handling it quite well.

11:30am and some MAJOR preening going on... I can just "hear" them... "oooo, itchy, I'm so itchy, just gottta get this fluff out...oooo, so itchy...".

  Shocking to see their white feathers are rapidly disappearing!

Will we have the opportunity to vote on the Winnipeg chicks' names again this year? That's always fun.

That is the plan and when the contest/voting is ready to go, I'll be sure to post a note (or more) here so that everyone can participate. 

TPC, I can hardly wait to hear the convoluted path you will take us on as you come up with the names. It is always a lovely and entertaining journey!

Ah yes, and now another Princess parental feeding taking place for the screetchers who wants to be fed!

[RaptorGal]

Phanatic phood drop just now.  Three screetchers and only one went after their food! Guess the others will just have to take note and feed themselves!!! haha, they must learn to have manners when they eat!

I haven't had a chance to look at the webcam since Sunday, since I'm away for work.  I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH THE CHICKS (and I use the term loosely at this point!!) HAVE GROWN!!!!  Their feathers are so dark now, and they're HUGE!!!  They better not be flying before I'm home on Thursday!!

I totally agree with you! Their fluffiness has almost all disappeared

The chicks are outside watching someone flying overhead, its cool to watch their little heads swivel like they are watching an air show

Pouring rain at the Radisson and all the kids are "in".  Looks like yellow chick has figured out where that spot is that Princess likes which is just at the border between "in" and "out".  He's getting dribbled on as the rain runs down the louvres - just like Princess just after the chicks hatched.
