What a noise!!  Is that her, or someone outside?  Why would she be screaming into the corner?

very impressive wings there! She looks the part (until she turns tail and runs back in the box)!

I agree Pchemist. I notice that last years chicks were born a few days earlier than these chicks and they fledged by July 3 but still hung around the nestbox (according to the notes with the photo's) so this weekend looks like it very well be it!

Gladly, she's pretty much down-free on her back and wings now, so I feel better about her trying flying.  Hope she waits a bit longer though.

I notice a big difference in her confidence since yesterday..  :D :D  and now,, I have two howling cats, wanting to go out for there evening stroll about the yard on their leashes. lol  and I have to take them one at a time, they don't want the other around when they go out. lol

She's definately more confident today, standing up on the ledge more.

I haven't seen her do that before, one talon holding on and the other scratching. another sign of a little more confidence..

Pretty sure that was mom.  Did you get a good look at the size of her when she came in close to the camera?  She's one big mama!   :)
