Ha ha, after that last feeding they were all lined up and reminded me of "Pretty Maids all in a row"!

Too cute.

I love watching her with her 4 chicks....She's a wonderful Mother and she looks like she's been taking care of more than one chick all of her breeding years!

Radisson has been fascinating to watch.  She has seemed very confident with four chicks despite having a nest of one as her only past experience.  A great help is the very experienced male, no doubt.

Hehe..thanks Bev, I will keep my eyese peeled for wisps of smoke!  And I'm with you, my first thought was 2 girls and 2 boys then I thought no maybe 3 girls but definitely 1 boy. 

Love that shot of the little one looking out of the box, these 4 are seriously very cute.  I've enjoyed watching them and the parents have been fabulous.  Radisson is so much more serious this year isn't she?  She's all grown up now whereas last year she seemed more mischevious and more of a sister to Cassie than a mom sometimes.  No foolin around with a full house though I guess  ::)

Just saw your question Carly.
I do  not think they will try and  trap RAdisson this year.  The banding should be over in 45 minutes. by the time they get them down and up again. and I am presuming they are banding in the  room right off the roof ledge. Gord does not believe in stressing them out.
but if it is going to be longer I will try and let someone know somehow.

Smoke signal, sign,   ;D ;D ;D

8 pictures in slide show of feed
click on picture

I keep changing my mind about the sexes but I think after watching the fed I will still say 2 males , 2 females . but it could be 3 females.

I will find out what kind of tape Tracy.
The tape is used to identify them better. If peter and I are it this year again then we want to make sure we are not seeing the same juvenile.
I am going to try and get a few people other than us though.
we will see tomorrow.
I am thinking a male and a female for sure. the other 2 I am not sure of .Could be smaller females or larger males so I am saying 2 males a 2 females.
I will find out size of box also but they do have the roof ledge belwo when they are older if need be.




A feed going on now.
sorry I have not been psoting . quite the week and ahof for me and I have been looking after my grandson as well

Man, those kids are gonna FILL that nestbox when they get bigger.  Just exactly how large is the inside of this nestbox?  It's hard to tell by the camera.

Does the colored tape help to sort out who's who from a distance, or is there another reason to add it?

Exactly right.  You can't read the bands when they're fledging - so the colored tape helps you identify who went where.

We just used colored tape from the dollar store that someone picked up. It's like colored electrical tape.
