They are such a nice family
The new male is a good Daddy
They should be banded any day.
Hope the biologist comes BEFORE they cross that curb

   The CROSSING of the CURB!
May 25, 2019
This is always THE BIG first milestone.
There is NOTHING to stop them from going off the edge of the roof over there.

I saw one youngster over there so I backed up the DVR and took snapshots

First food
Then UP  ...  and OVER
Now what?

Mom reward the Traveller!
 -  while Sissy screams!
Sissy tries hard - but falls back

After exploring Traveller lies down near Sissy

    CHICK UP!
May 31, 2019
The 2 kids have gone offcam before I look in on them.
On Explore people leave pics.
One of the kids is now up on that bridge.
Now they will run up & down on that
 ......  and launch

June 1
5.53 am
One chick nearest cam was chewing on prey
Mom was just watching, when the darker chick ran at Barb - AND JUMPED ON HER! Huh?! She moved away and vocalized, Boh2 came immediately, and Mom flew off

Well now that was odd

I have seen one of the youngsters up on the bridge, but not both.
He'd been flying pretty good, aggressive.
I have seen one of them perch in the doorway looking out.
Evidently one of them fludged - cuz here's a cam note


Thank you for a successful rescue operation today!
CamOp Pan Mod - From Chesapeake Conservancy FB page

One of the eyasses wound up on their ground level. With guidance from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a plan was hatched to rescue the eyas. Our former employee Patrick Smith came over to lend a hand. The eyas does not appear to be injured. USFWS will examine the eyas, hopefully band it, and it should be returned to the scrape tomorrow.

Barb and her new Boh were alone in the nest - BRIEFLY
and began the bonding process

Little Leftover who hasnt fledged yet
came screaming toward them and they took off

One of them laid down and sunned themself in peace

Sometime on June 6th Male was returned to nest by biologist Craig Koppie.
