Can see 2 outside sleeping by the nest, 1 outside just in view at the bottom right, screen and think Chick 4 is in the nest on the right side. Caught just a glimpse of probably Mom on the parapet as her talon barely came in view.

Time to put up the pen. :girlsad3:

Time to band, too.

I went back to look, they did it last season at about 4 weeks and it will be 4 weeks for the 1st 3 this Friday and Chick 4 on Saturday. Currently, Mom and 1 chick are at the nest and the others are out of sight.

They are back at the box. Must be cooler there! :3sum:

Can only see 1 right now, possibly the baby. It's at the bottom of the screen, guess the others went exploring.

Could hear a parent land and they all got vocal. Soon whichever parent it was comes in to view and has a small hunk of something in its beak and drops it and leaves. A big chick picked it up and let it drop as in it didn't want it, then the baby rushes over to investigate, but another chick swiped it and went out of view with it. They seem hungry and the parent knows it, so we may get a late feed here later on. Hahaha, I just now saw your capture of the baby above I was talking about in my previous post. Thanks, catwoman!

Yep, we have a feed in progress. Only vocals can be heard as the feed is off cam.

Nobody in cam view.

Still no chicks seen on cam, but I just heard Mom or Dad come in maybe. Can hear chick voices, but it comes and goes and I think something is wrong with the sound here. Not the 1st time I have experienced this. Sometimes I have had no sound.

Thanks, catwoman! I haven't seen them all day. They will be banded on Thursday the 26th and the pen will be erected as in years past for their safety, if weather cooperates. VDWR update:

Of special note, they have a photo of a dual feed by Mom and Dad that was done this past Saturday morning that I missed...

Edit to add: They have the cam on them down the way and all 4 are standing huddled under the lights d/t rain. My "boo" is hard to see, but is there at 7:49 pm real time.

I see you got the dual feed! Sorry I missed that live. When I checked early this morning it was raining and really affecting the cam lens with drips and drops making it almost impossible to see inside the nest as they spread slowly across the lens obscuring the view. But I think I could make out about 3 of them. Right now, Mom is on the parapet next to the building and they are piled in on the right side of the nest tightly and it is difficult to make out how many, but at least 3. It's one of those nights you get to see inside the nest and can even see their dark feathers coming in.

I never got these posted last night.

For posterity!

(I think they liked the rain.)

Mom is on the parapet against the building and can see the chicks in the nest, but unsure how many. Banding here later today. Checked the forecast hourly and single to double digit chances for rain each hour, however all less than 20%. Will be a cloudy day.
