I know that no news is good news - but it's nice to hear that all the kids have been sighted.

RCF those are great captures - interesting about Jubilee's "crown".

So nice to hear that all of the birds have been spotted this weekend, even returning back to the nestbox. I'm especially thrilled to hear that Jubilee returned to the nestbox! :D

Well, typical brother and sister. . . McDermot and Jubilee were just fighting over food. Holy toledo, there was lots of squawking and squealing and running around. But when McDermot just took off, Jubilee was right behind them.

I guess their battle was forgotten.

McDermot just took off, followed immediately by Jubilee - after a little bit of bickering and kissy-kissy in the nestbox. :-*

What a wonderful morning this is. . . seeing McDermot and Jubilee!

TPC. . . generally, how long before chicks are hunting on their own?

The other one just turned around, and guess what, he has a transmitter on his back, so now I know it is McDermot and Jubilee on the nest box.  Was too dark earlier to see the antenna. :-\

And now there are two.  One, by the size, looks to be Jubilee.  Still cannot tell who the other one is. :-* So glad to see them this fine, beautiful morning. :D

I really like your photos of Jubilee, RCF.
The markings on her head make me wonder if she is going to have a crown similar to Princess. 

All of Princess' chicks have these distinct markings, interestingly, most lose them - Hurricane and Ivy don't have any showing anymore - neither does Alley as I recall.  Would be a nice coincidence if Jubilee did though, given the source of her name.

2235h

There are two birds on the front box edge right now.  The second bird turned up on the ledge beside the box and was noticeably larger, and yes, before anyone asks, it is Jubilee.  She landed on the ledge sometime around 2130h then hopped into the nestbox and I could see her tape.  She spent some time nibbling on something before she joined McDermot on the box edge.
So today, we have had all the kids turning up and hanging out on the ledge/box for extended periods of time - first Fleet and Hart, then McDermot joined by Jubilee.
