This might be the cleanest we see this nest box for the rest of the season.

How wonderful to come home and see Radisson has 4 little bundles of fluff in her nestbox this year!  Thank you for all the photos, I feel like I missed so much..lol!

PS: That photo with the pigeons is awesome! 

[Ellie]

It's seems that our camera view is a bit closer..........my eyes playing tricks maybe?  Feel as though it is closer as the fluff ball looks a bit larger!

[bev.]

We have not gone yet Eli. We put peregrine finding on hold today. But we will be going down there later

Good going Radisson and Damon!

Four chicks for Radisson and Damon - what great news!  It is so hot today it feels like we are living in the tropics, and I am not going out; Bev, I don't know how you can stand the heat, but glad you made it down there.  From what I can see, all the chicks are doing well, and we still have chicks to come (I hope) at the Weber Building.

dad is babysitting and I am doing a slide show of the chicks and feed
they are so cute when they fall over
Hope all are O.K.
another hot day.

Make sure it stays that way
I have a picture of after the hatch. I believe I see 4

First hatch at 5:28,
Second hatch at 5:38

About 28 hours between last and third.
Feeding going on and dad was on outside
I knew he was around as I could see her looking over
Pictures coming and I will ask fro permission to use picutres of Hatch that were posted elsewhere. I know there will not be a problem

[What is the interval between the hatches Bev?  I ask because we have had a couple of later hatches that haven't done so well and a couple that have this year ...

TPC, Bev said that she was going down there today. So maybe she will answer your question later, but in the meantime ... the first three chicks hatched very early Saturday morning between 5 and 7 am, so if my calculations are correct the fourth chick is about 30 hours behind.

[bcbird]

One, two, three, four little fluff balls just visible under her chest!  Well done Radisson and Damon.

[moka]

If TPC's eyes are deceiving her, I don't hold up much hope for the rest of us!

Congratulations Radisson! Wonderful news.

Bev, thanks for all the great pictures and slideshows. You have the patience of Job.

Much appreciated.
