HOME ALONE
June 15, 2023
2 on ground - fledged
1 on roof
1 lef inside vox - angry. hahahahaa

Yesterday one left the box - to our right. I think he fledged.
I saw him later in the afternoon, flapping - back where Breezy perchs..

9 am Just watched one of our juvies fledge from the roof.
One still inside - one still running around roof free n happy.

THANK YOU for moving the cam back!

Mom lands on front corner of porch with prey - feeds one of the juvies there - in full view of screaming Home Alone. You dont even need sound to hear him! :egg11:

Mom clearly wants to lure Baby Home Alone down onto the porch, but stubborn kid wont jump yet. She finally takes baby the prey. Nice Mama.

Home Alone still inside
The other remaining juvie preening on porch
Mom on her back perch - maybe watching the 2 who fledged.
BOTH Mom n Dad been very vigilant.

2.15 pm The other 2 juvies have appeared.
I believe they flew UP to join the others.

They all 4 are there. The 4th one is in the box and you can barely see him because of his brother.

EMPTY NEST
June 17, 2023
I hope Leftover exits the box onto the porch today.
Nice of his siblings to return to encourage him.
This pair are really good parents.

6.45 am And there he goes - jumped down on the porch to attack his sibling! :egg11:

The 3 others are all over - perch, top of box - light - ACTIVE!

Thanks for those pics cat
