2010--Kami still above the nest box and Thomas must have worked his way back down.........

[Nora in IA]

At least the last two are finding some leftovers to munch on......

[Nora in IA]

9 PM
Thomas back down where he was before he ventured up......

7:50 PM!!  Newman dropped off a bird for the nest box gang, watched for a minute, then left.

[Nora in IA]

I hadn't seen this one a little after 4 PM.  Poor Newman brought a meal and they were anxious to get it and he dropped it between the perch and nest box.    You can see it sort of hanging down and then it went.

[Nora in IA]

FOUND  IT!  Alice was on the perch a short time around 2 PM.

What a thrill to watch these little peregrines navigate and explore!

Two fledged on Friday -- P59 [Kami] and B59 [Thomas]. Thomas is really flying, to the top of the bluff on Friday and back to the nest box about 6:00 on Saturday morning.  Kami also returned to the nest box, at 5:30 AM, she is more like "branching" on the face of the cliff and hopping here and there.  What does RRP say about these two?

The other two, P-58 [Alice] and P-60 [Jaycie], spent the night in the nest box and are still there today.

Newman brought food to the nest box at 7 AM, and P-60 grabbed it.

Poor Newman, they're getting so big.  WOW was Thomas flying!  Looking good kid!  Glad Kami made it the rest of the way down from her LITTLE "ledge".

Thanks gang for all the great snapshots and ID info.

[Nora in IA]

There have been some great ones Phyl.   3:50 PM still two on top and two inside.

[Nora in IA]

About 11 AM Newman brought in a Baltimore Oriole.  Thomas was excited and Kami was just beside herself.  He stopped in the nest box first and Jayce ate some and Alice stayed in the corner.  He picked it up and hopped up top and Thomas grabbed it and Kami let him have it.  Newman left and Thomas kept ripping into it.

Continued....

Somewhere around 9:30 one of them climbed the bluff and was totally enthralled with the swallows swooping around and the other went out on the pole to the cam again.

[Phyl]

Thanks Nora for the 'play by play'.  Would not know what all's going on w/o you & STL & Lori

[Nora in IA]

They seem content up there.  The second one is a "awww" moment.
