Good pics sky n sal :eggup:

June 13, 2015 Saturday Shepnotes
GSB Travis and Michele and 4 kids
6.45 am Isnt that the NEW beam juvie 01 is perched on? Glad its there!
7 am 01 looked around the side like he'll try to go back there - like Jonathan did in 2013 (wings)
Morning yoga. 01 lost his balance and slipt, and recovered. Saw that in 2013 too - and they were younger than these.
01 is VERY comfy out there, looking, preening, yoga
01 may very well head for the ledge below which parents like.
I bet 01 leaves this weekend.

I get so nervous about these juvies fledging! I thought today would be the day but I guess they are not ready. It's no wonder one of them doesn't knock another out of the nest. This foursome group of siblings make me laugh - they are exceptionally loud once they all get going. Also one other thing, they are always digging. I feel sorry they have that bug problem!

Looking at their brother or sister out on the stick....

He's back....

He's discovered the second floor......

Sally · **Posted:** Sun Jun 14, 2015 7:07 am

Mom arrives with food on the second floor. She looked very proud of her offspring. (my opinion - lol) However, the siblings are pretty upset the food is up above.
