Got back from lunch to an empty nest, but saw them get returned to the nest. Also saw Dot or Dad show up a bit ago, but then leave again. Hopefully, she'll be back again soon.. maybe with food. Everyone seems calm now.

That was cute whe walked past all of them doing a head count

She is so pretty.

Uh oh I think she wants them all in the corner now. They are reaching at her beak .

Actually she has handled the whole thing pretty well. I've seen the parents go on for hours after the banding process.

I'm just getting home, opened the cam, could see, and knew immediately I had missed it all...Thanks for the great coverage, everyone..and the video, KF...MAN....he just yanked those kids outta there...YIKES...

I'm watching them now....Poor things are just panting away..at least they're out of the sun...

Dad just brought in a very tiny snack...Dot, of course, got all excited, stepped all over one of the kids, snagged the "morsel" (and I do mean tiny} and took off with it...maybe the snack was meant for her...The kids didn't get overly excited about it...I'm guessing all the wing flapping from the parents gave them a very brief breeze...

Thanks for the videos kitten.

Here's another, I'll just post link...

Thanks for the link to your Video, Mick...even though I watched the retrieval in KF's vid, I still gasped, watching him take them out of the box..YIKES...

Now, here's a silly question...watching them clean the lens, the top of the box raises up?!! They couldn't have retrieved the chicks that way? I guess it was safer removing them from the front? Heck, what do I know...all I could think of was please don't drop one as you're moving it from box to pouch...

Thanks for the coverage everybody! I forgot about this until I saw a picture of Dot in the box alone & thought "what the heck is going on"--then I remembered! :thud

Thanks for the videos, Kitten & Mick!

I would like to see them add a front panel that slides over the front like they have at Genessee, so they can remove them from the top of the box & not have a danger of any jumping or falling.

There were a couple of women at work who were back by my desk when the kids returned, so they enjoyed looking at the kids. :flirty:

I have kept my eye on them most of the afternoon, but it is not easy as I can see how hot they are. I wish there was something that could be done to help them but I sure don't see how. I'll just continue to hope for rain. They are all sleeping now, surely it is cooler this time of the day.
