Just saw a food drop. I too am seeing three. I am assuming that if Reenie has seen a fledge she would have called me. And thanks for the report on Ebony, Reenie.

Thanks Reenie. Love the way one will mantle the food drop.

I THINK MAYBE IT'S A CHIMNEY SWIFT? I THINK RED HAS IT AND THE OTHER TWO WANT SOME, LOL!

Thanks, Reenie! When I saw there was a food drop & still only 3 kids in view, I was just sure there was a fledge. Well, the longer they wait (within reason), the better!

The 4th one finally came running around the column (after giving us a scare earlier)! I'm heading for work in a few, but good luck to all who are watching these kids today! :clap:

The explorer from the other side of the column has returned to join his sibs.

Just saw Lil Dad on the ledge. He picked up a leftover and one of the chicks got it, and is now working on whatever is left of it. It has been dripping here lightly off and on for at least an hour, although the sun is trying to come out. But there's a chance of showers and storms again today, but it's cooler than yesterday.

That bird on the point is looking very flighty. And I think it's a female, which is probably Blue. Doesn't seem to have a mohawk like Red has. Males usually fledge first. Not raining at all now, but very overcast and pretty humid.

The one sitting on the point looks like a little Dad junior, whether it be a boy or girl. :egg20:

Good grief, lots of action

At one point, I think Lil' Dad made a drop and flew up to the cam. That one jumping up to the shield is making good landings, oh wait two are up there now.

I hope they settle down and relax.

Don't want anybody to get any crazy thoughts like they can fly or anything

Right now I'm seeing on by the orange post, one on the shield, one in the scrape, I hope the other one is behind the scrape.

Airborne on the ledge.

ONE KID LOUNGING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF COLUMN.

After airborne on the ledge comes airborne off the ledge. Looks like they are really getting ready to go, but I hope they wait out this rainy day. I'm only seeing two, so hope the other two are around the column again.

Jane · **Posted:** Wed May 28, 2014 12:35 pm

I am only see two up there at the moment. Weather for today says slight chance of showers and storms. Tomorrow sounds lousy - drizzle and that blasted easterly wind off the Atlantic. I will be heading down for the evening watch somewhere around 3:30 unless I'm asked to come sooner. Sue will be joining me tonight, also. And those are some great pictures, ljames - thanks!

And it looks like one is in the nest box :egg11:
