I'm home and now I can watch our girl more..hehe.  She's the first thing I put up on my screen when I got home...she's on her perch backwards!  She looks more and more like mom every day doesn't she?!  SHe's barely got any white left on her back and she's a big girl!! 

I'm with ballywing, sound would be great..hehe!

LOL - your captions are hilarious Bev!!!  - what a great view we have of Cassie with camera 3. - I wonder if live streaming & sound will be an option for this nest one day?  ....ok I know, we ask for the world..

8:26 am and morning check, she's on her perch waiting patiently for breakfast

Like you, Carly, my heart pounds when I see her alone but i know the parents are never far away. i know for sure where dad roost and I am still figuring out moms but I am sure hers is close by.

I am going down tomorrow if weather is good to check things out. I swear , I think sh e is going to try and fly sometimes.

A few pictures.

So, mom, how am I doing so far??

Cassie continues to change so fast. She is a beauty.

I swear, I think mom has PC access..lol.  Everytime I write that she hasn't been around, she shows up within 15 or 20 minutes 

She's on the perch and Cassie is having a wee chat with her

[carly]

I've checked in a few times on our girl, she's been alone every time I checked save for this morning when mom came with food but I've probably just missed her visiting.  She's sitting in her corner now looking out onto the world.  Hopefully mom has been around a bit to entertain her

Super Duper Pics Bev!!! - I was ROTFLOL at the 'As I was saying' and the 'Field Goal' pics -

So fun to see the pictures posted - amazing how quickly things change!  So many feathers in that nest box, too.  It's like they want a feather bed in there!
