From the site:

13 June

Like toddlers learning to walk, the chicks are exploring the bigger world outside the nest. Over the weekend, they began going out onto the ledge, where they are now likely to spend more and more of their time. Outside the nest box, they have plenty of room to vigorously flap their wings and take short hops to prepare for their first flight, which will occur in about two weeks. Now that they are acquainted with this new world outside, they have little incentive to return to the nest. If they do want inside, large rocks placed against the outside of the box provide the chicks with a step up, if needed, to get over the lip.

The ledge is wider than it looks on camera -- about 40 inches – and extends the entire length of the building. Several pillars along the span offer excellent places for the chicks to rest and find respite from the weather. The adults will continue to bring food to the chicks on the ledge. Whenever you hear the birds vocalizing, you can be sure one of the adults is delivering a meal.

Great news about Dunn! Weren't they doing bridge work earlier? Do we ever get a report from there so we note if it is the cutie dad?

Speedy watched over her chicks from farther down the ledge, then brought in food:

After the feeding, she moved away down the ledge, but continued to watch over her chicks, and was still there as darkness fell.

One in the nest, eating, and two visible on the ledge:

Then they were all out of view.

Only three chicks visible; I don't know if the fourth is out of cam range, or perhaps has fledged.
