All four are back for the night, looking charmingly peaceful.  Giant girl, beside little brother on the box edge.  One in the nest box and the fourth on a perch outside the box. :-*

Very surprised at the beak feeding at this stage.   Is this unusual??
Yes, I was surprised to see beak feeding, as well. How old are these juvies? Does seem odd, given their possible age.

There is a great video on the BCAW site, second to last entry on page 21.  It shows the antics of one of the boys.  So cute - a must see!  Thanks to skygirlblue for that.  :)  (I tried to copy the link to here but can't figure out how to do that, if you even can.  :P)
It is a very cute video. Loved watching him trying to decide what to do. The girls definitely like beaking at him.
Not sure if this will work.

Tested it and it takes you to the page but you still have to scroll down.

Yesterday saw two females in nest box with brother on top.......they were all watching the same thing.....left right, left right, left right.   Like a tennis match.
So cute I was laughing out loud.

There seems to be just one Juvie left near the nestbox, she seems to be looking all around.

Thanks for those videos RCF.  I'm amazed that those two big girls still allow their parent to beak feed them, and the one in the back even just sits and waits patiently.  Totally different from the Radisson chicks who grab and run with the food and don't share!  And I just love the video of them watching the sky!  There must have been more than one bird in the air because at times they are looking in different directions.  Perhaps their brothers were showing off!

The two peregrine chicks watching something outside the nest box, probably the parents are flying around.

Two in the box and I think it's Dad who comes in and beak feeds them.

The "ghosting" has been happening for a long time.  It's a little weird to watch as you can actually see through the birds!  It's a little eerie!
