one of the parents just brought sis lunch and she ran around a bit until she realized there was no one there to challenge her to it...
parent now gone, hmmmmm - what's going on out there!!

[deedream]

Yeah I suspect it's the Dad, the youngin still have too much barring down the front of them for it to be a youngin

I think its Dad also... it is most definitly not Mom.

[JL]

Yes, it may be dad.  Can't see the bright yellow very well in the bright sun!

that is sister right now doing all the yakking can see her beak moving to the sounds 

[Pchemist]

Yeah - that is definitely an adult on the perch right now.  I really wish we had the outside camera.  But as my dad says, if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts when they hit the ground - wishing gets you nowhere.  Besides, I've got work to do and stuff to plan (July 4 is not only our Independence Day, it's also my fiance's birthday!)  So, I'll leave it on and look when I can, and count on you guys for info and updates!

[eagle63_1999]

Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I wonder if Chase has just been sitting out of view all this time?  It sounds like a younger voice lol

[deedream]

oh someone is back , real close but out of view, sounds like Mom.  lots of screeching.  rakk, rakk, rakk, rakk.

[Pchemist]

That sounds like Chase.  I think he is still on the side ledge out of view!

[LouLouBelle]

I hear squawking close by and it isn't sis.

[deedream]

well these parents will have there hands full wont they, with fledglings all over the place?  Have to go teach them to fly and hunt and all that. wow.  Maybe Mom went to help Chase fly or something when she took off like that.  or maybe she just seen food on the wing and went after it.  lol... Maybe, maybe not. Well I am off to get some stuff done, cant sit here on my thumbs worrying and fretting.  Nothing I can do. 

[deedream]

little sis still sleeping in corner, head slightly turned towards us, pressed up against the wall.

can't hear any squawking from anywheres. 

[deedream]

oh oh,mom just got all freaked out, turned around towards us and jumped, bounced out of sight, wings spread like she was taking off to the left.  hmmm.

[LouLouBelle]

Mom just squawked and left...

[deedream]

Mom doing a bit of stretching exercises now,,, lol,, looks like me before I go for a walk... bit of wing stretches, now oh lets stretch one leg wayyyyyyy out behind, oh that feels good.  lol
