OMG! HOW ABOUT THAT! I KNEW THEY WOULD DO THIS WHILE I WAS GONE..............JANE AND I WENT TO THE AUDUBON BANQUET TONIGHT AND WE WOULD HAVE MISSED ALL THIS! THANKS SO MUCH LJAMES FOR CAPTURING THE PICTURES YOU DID :eggthumbup:

I SEE AT LEAST ONE HAS FOUND THE ORANGE POLE. THEY NEEDED IT EARLIER TODAY!

I just got home from choir and bell choir practice. I missed it too. They are really getting around now. Thanks ljames for the pictures. I see Niecey thought she better sit at the end to keep some control.

LOVE HOW THE PARENTS ACCOMODATE THE CHICKS, LOL!

THIS PICTURE WAS FROM EARLIER TODAY, CHICK LOOKING UP AT IT'S MOMMY ON THE SHIELD

Just adorable Reenie. They talk with their eyes too! One screaming now. Sounds kinda weak. Doing it too much?

TUNED IN TO SEE ONE OUTSIDE BACK DOOR, THEN ON SCRAPE VIEW, YELLOW LEGS CAME RUNNING DOWN THE LEDGE AND WENT TO THE CORNER OF THE SCRAPE FOR SHADE. NEXT VIEW I SEE ONE BESIDE THE ORANGE POLE AND ONE IN THE SHADE OF ORANGE POLE BY THE BLDG. SO ALL ARE ACCOUNTED FOR :-)

HAVE ALOT TO DO TODAY, SO WILL MISS ALOT, POST WHEN YOU CAN PLEASE :-)

YELLOW LEGS SEEMS THE MOST ACTIVE, RUNNING FROM POLE TO SCRAPE AND NOW MAKING IT'S ALARM CALL, TOO FUNNY!

They really have those calls built into their DNA, don't they? So cute to see the eyes peering out from behind the scrape. :loveshow:

Wonder how long those feathers will stay in that scrape? With four of them there are more poop shots than before!! :teehee:

Can see three sacked out by the orange post. All four could be there, but it's hard to tell. Pretty sure it's just three. Don't know where #4 is at the moment.

Niecey has been on the shield for a while after exploring the scrape for leftovers. She must have fed some small morsel to the chicks. Saw #4 from behind the shield. She flew off, but is now back on the stick. All four are now down by the orange post. And chores await, so can't watch much for a while.

Was on the phone, so hadn't started outside chores yet. Niecey had been lying in the scrape for a while, chewing at the wood by the window. On the next view, one of the chicks was dragging some prey over to the orange post and started working on it. Finally they all were working on it. Thought Lil Dad was on the point, but can't see that with the current views. Niecey finally went over to help the chicks with the prey. Don't know why she looked so overheated, as it's not quite 70 degrees here right now, but very bright sun. MUST get outside now.

Taking a lunch break from mowing. Three chicks are pancaked in the shade along the building, and one in the shade of the orange post. Niecey is on the shield.

Just saw them eating again, have lost track of how many times they have been fed. They eat an awful lot. :teehee:

Oh no, they are doing something there that's upset Niecey. She's attacking the window.

Somebody just hopped down from the cam with a big thump.

Faith · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 1:53 pm

They are doing their flappersizing. Those wings are wonderful!

ljames · **Posted:** Fri May 17, 2013 1:55 pm

I didn't get a shot of the attack, she flew down the ledge and over after that, but this is a couple of minutes later.

The one view shows the dark spot where Spidey is in the web. It is in a different spot everyday.
