Our three chicks have returned - I say three because the chick that fledged first has yet to return so far as we can tell, but sometimes it is hard to see the tape on their bands.  And it is not unusual for one chick to just take off - Hurricane and Alley were like that and they did fine.

So, our lone female who fledged just as I was putting chick 3 back on the roof took all day but it wasn't the time, it was the incentive.  Joli and a very plump dinner item was the real reason she came home.  She's wanted to for much of the day but it has been too high and she hadn't figured out yet that she just needs to circle round and that would get her up there.  So it looks like Joli used the food as a very effective lure and our girl was not graceful but she stuck the landing like a pro - and then she scarfed all the food and would not share with her brothers.  She is still picking at the bones (there is absolutely nothing she hasn't eaten) and the boys are napping a few feet away.  All in all, a happy little picture and I suspect they will all stay together tonight - today's fledgers don't seem inclined to venture out again and fledger #2 very much prefers company.

Chick three fledged but couldn't get back to the nestledge and dribbled down to the ground.  Picked him up and returned him to the nestledge but not before his sister made her first flight - and a very nice flight it was, maintained her altitude, made a bit up at the end but didn't quite manage to reach the ledge she wanted to land on.  Instead she landed on a wide ledge about 3 feet below without a problem.  When she screws up the courage to try again, and if she does as well then as she did the first time, she'll be back on the nestledge in no time flat.  And her brother (fledge #3) is waiting patiently for her - these two are very much best buds.

Yup, we definitely had a second fledge yesterday ... only two left on the ledge - male and female and they are not so willing to head out at the moment - they are sound asleep nose-to-nose on a ledge in the shade.
Nice to know the female and one brother are resting comfortably; I hope her other two brothers are somewhere safe.

1550h - think we have had a second fledge and know we have had a first return - but don't know if return is chick 1 or a quick return for chick 2 - no matter, both/either are good news!!

1045h - thought we might have had a second fledge here, but no, just one of the three chicks decided he wanted to sleep on a different section of the roof.  These three don't seem particularly interested in fledging quite yet, not a lot of wingercizing this morning but who knows!  They are the right age for it.

As of today, these four are (best estimate) 40 days old.  They are also the smallest of our chicks.

Looks like one of the four musketeers decided not to wait for the others and fledged today.  They were all together this morning, then they were roaming all over the ledge and then there were three.  So far no reports that this guy has run into trouble and no news is good news.  We'll have to see what tomorrow brings ...

The Logan Four are definitely a tight knit group - they really don't go anywhere alone.  They have been exploring the area around their nestbox a lot the last couple of days - today there was lots of wingercizing as well.  And always as a foursome!!  It is very cute :)

Okay, lunch time which means it is time for a story ...

They were fine of course, just the polar opposite of the Radisson chicks - their dad Hart's genes maybe?  Certainly not Joli's on this particular day.

They were lovely little chicks - very polite, only a little bit of grabbing (mostly they grabbed themselves a foot or a wing a couple of times) and a very little bit of squawking but nothing like the din their cousins at the Radisson had subjected.  I think I mentioned before that it was like being in a parallel universe where everything was opposite.  They were lovely guests, let us measure their feet and get bands on with no fuss at all, often they just sat in my hand with their feet hanging down while they glared at us.
 

Awww, what a world of a difference from one nest to the other … and this Logan banding really was a sweet story!

The kids are currently trying to nap in wriggling pile under cover from any rain we might have this afternoon.  Tried to get a screen capture but there is a bit of wind and the camera is having a wee shake so can't get a good image - sorry!
