Just got in here for the 1st time this morning and see all is complete. The parents are fussing, the chicks are in the nest not moving and quiet and the pen is in place!

Just back in and continue to see the 4 chicks in the nest, but no longer hear the parents fussing. Wonder if they have even left the nest yet as the gravel in the pen still looks pristine. Awaiting VDWR's report of banding.

See two in the pen now.

Two females and 2 males!! And here is the banding update by VDWR:

"Banded and Ready to Party!"

My Boo is Yellow!! I knew she might be female as she was rapidly catching them in size! :5val:

Raining, they are all piled up in a corner. Lots more dark feathers can now be seen.

All sleeping in the nest box tonight.

All in the nest right now, I rarely catch them out and haven't caught a feed yet, but know it's happening.

Three in the pen and one of the females in the nest who looks as if she is tearing and pulling on a leftover morsel.

I started to say all in the nest readying for sleep, but then a couple started crying out maybe in hopes of a feed before bedtime.

The two females and one of the males are down in the pen while the other male remains in the nest. All are wailing possibly for something to eat.

Some have been preening. Can see some remains of a meal that were not here earlier. Keep missing their feeds here.

Just a few random pics from the 5/29 archive...probably out of order.

This didn't appear to be a feed...just hanging out with the kids.

Thanks for the pics. Still haven't come in on a feed yet. Couple of them are preening in the pen. Yellow girl seems to already be asleep on the floor of the pen and one of the boys is standing on the lip of the nest.

They're all piled up in the left rear, corner. it's blurry and I can't see back there well. May have to leave this cam up and listen for action, then come in.

All 4 are in the pen, 2 lying on the floor and 2 crouched. All look ready for a night of sleep.

Currently, we have a close up view of them in the nest! Since, Yellow has gone to the pen to lie down, but she is still in view.
