Looks like the male with the green tape has been out of the box and on the roof.  I didn't see him leave but saw him return and I think he used the ramp.

The female has red tape on her silver band. The littlest male has green tape and other male has no tape on his silver band.  :)

Very funny to watch this feeding. 1 male on the nestbox ledge got lots to eat, next the female in the nestbox was fed. The male in the middle who really didn't get much to eat at all appeared to have his wings on this hips and was squawking as if to say "Awww! Come on ma! How about some for me?!" LOL! :D

Nice looking "bling"! Looks as if everything went well. :D Chicks are being fed now. 2 males are feeding on the nestbox ledge right now. Hadn't seen that before. Female chick attempted to climb up on the nestbox ledge, but did not appear able to.

Looking forward to hearing about the banding.  If it had been Monday I would have been able to go.

Friday was the last day within the range we like to band the chicks - the youngest chick is 25 days old today

Hope the banding goes well. This year, with the banding being late, I am in the area and would have been there were it not for a Dr. appt. Always seems to be something to interfere with my play!   :'(  :'(

Just checked in on the McKenzie chicks and had to laugh. They look just like white Easter Peeps, all lined up in the box.  ;D

Yes!!!  Perfectly described, Cooper.
