DEAR LIL DAD IS SITTING ON TOP OF 333 WAITING FOR MORE FOOD TO FLY BY. DON'T KNOW WHERE NG TOOK THAT FOOD :-(

At 7:10 this morning it is still raining pretty hard out there. I did hear the little ones screaming when I checked in--that usually means someone is nearby. It would be nice to see them get something to eat... but there won't be a lot for Little Dad to choose from this morning.

Thanks Reenie for going out in the rain to check. I so hope Lil Dad gets food and brings it straight to the babes. Looks like NG is still in survival mode. Too unfortunate that the weather has to be so bad. We are to have this for the next three days. Can't feel good with all this going on. I'm so glad there are two.

I'M JUST GLAD THESE TWO ARE BOYS. AT LEAST THEY ARE LEARNING THAT THE MALE SHOULD BRING FOOD TO THE FEMALE AND THE CHICKS MOST IMPORTANTLY. IF THEY WERE FEMALE, THEY WOULD LEARN TO STEAL THE FOOD AWAY FROM THE MALE AND TO NOT FEED THEIR CHICKS! :egg18:

Good grief it's small!

Good , now they are both working on it. They are learning tough! Not much pampering here.

Well after the last look-see, they really are not sharing too well.

At least they are sharing. It's great to see how close these two are.

Well, they were sharing. :egg6:

BLUE WAS THE AGGRESSOR THIS TIME! WOULDN'T LET RED HAVE ANY. RED DID GET IT AT ONE POINT, BUT BLUE TOOK IT BACK AND WENT DOWN THE LEDGE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAT, BUT I THINK IT WAS A BABY CHIMNEY SWIFT :-(

Well, here's to a satisfactory day on the ledge. Can't call it anything else right now. I hope all is good. Must go to work! Raining very hard here now.

P.S. Just read your post Reenie and wondered if it wasn't the other one this time. He has more white on him. Well good! They both are learning to feed themselves.

8:19 I wish they were in the scrape protected from the elements. I realize the are wild, but they are still so very young! Guess this is like a shower for them.

Didn't see either one immediately, and I was freaking out here. Then I saw movement and the feathers of one of the boys by the bad window. I hung in there for a little longer and finally spotted the other one right next it's sibling.

Not fond of this New view we have this morning. The one view is a very small area of the ledge, and then it changes to a view of the city As the boys move around the ledge more we will not be able to see them with this view!

Have been sitting here watching for a while. About five minutes ago Lil Dad was there checking on things. He didn't have food. Looks like Red Boy working on something in front of the scrape while Blue is standing by the window preening.

WELL THE CHICKS ARE IN THE BLIND SPOT NOW, CAN JUST BARELY SEE ONE THERE BY THE WINDOWS. NG IS ACTUALLY SITTING ON THE CAM ABOVE THE SCRAPE AND LIL DAD IS ON THE CORNER OF 333. I'M REALLY STARTING TO WONDER IF NG MAY BE SICK MORE THAN JUST IN THE HEAD? IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING........... :egg16:

LIL DAD IS FEEDING THE CHICKS AT THE END OF THE LEDGE! :egg5:

AS I TYPED THIS, LIL DAD WAS GONE! NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED :-(

OH, I SEE. THE ONE CHICK MUST HAVE SNATCHED IT FROM LIL DAD AND IS EATING, THE OTHER CHICKS STILL CRYING.

LIL DAD ON THE STICK NOW. HE KEPT LOOKING UP, SO I'M GUESSING NG MIGHT STILL BE ON THE CAM ABOVE THE SCRAPE.

Closeup of NG, I'm assuming. She doesn't look to good.

Changed shot of scrape. Now they need to pull back on the one at the window.

Sorry I can't post pictures, but if that was NG she looked really wet. She took off toward the column.
