That baby fluffiness is very quickly disappearing and being replaced by darker big-girl feathers.

I also notice big-girl voices!

One of the chicks is giving us a close-up of her excellent preening job.  That baby fluffiness is very quickly disappearing and being replaced by darker big-girl feathers.

I'll see if I can't download a bit of the fireworks so folks know what they should watch for next year  ;) ;D

That would be great, TPC! And I'll be sure to watch out for the fireworks next year. :D

TPC, what is the ETA of Fledgewatch this year?  You might have posted it, but I can't find it if you did ::)

Also where are things at with naming the girls?

We got a good look at the parents on the roof the other evening - one on a small satellite dish and the other on the tower.  Also saw a fluffy head poking out from the balcony.   :-*

Haven't posted a fledgewatch countdown yet, given the date the last chick hatched, the chicks will be 35 days old on July 10th but they are both females so sometime between July 10th and the 20th.

As for names, have passed along names to the folks at CBC so they can set up a poll on the webcam site as per usual.  I'll post more information on the choices when they get the poll ready - hopefully Monday?

Sorry TPC, but my last post may have to be moved. Soon as I remembered the July 4 fireworks were about to begin I wanted to quickly share the link, and went straight to the Radisson (having recalled a few recent posts regarding fireworks). Hope someone was able to enjoy it though.
