Here is another shot of when Lil' dad was trying to get the leftovers. He's like, I don't think they want me to take it.

Noticed in those closeups of the bys that they have their mohawks. :teehee:

It's amazing how big the look when they are by Lil Dad.

BOTH OVER BY THE COLUMN NOW, HOPE ONE DOESN'T KNOCK THE OTHER ONE OFF!

LIL DAD NOW BACK ON THE POINT, THOUGHT HE WAS GONE FOR THE NIGHT. MAYBE HE SAW SOMETHING IN THE AREA. ONE OF THE BOYS IS SCREAMING AGAIN NOW AND MAY BE HEADED BACK DOWN THE LEDGE.

I rarely get to check the live view these days between 5:30 and too dark to see, but got a chance to tune in tonight. I'm wondering what the three bright spots are out in the horizon on the view of the scrape. I don't remember them being there in previous years, but like I said, I often don't get to check in this time of day when the view is live.

It must be that time of the season for the boys to start sleeping by the column. I hoped that wouldn't come until after successful fledges and returns to the ledge for the night.

I can't believe all the posts today. 6-8 pages.! Wow! I was too busy doing chores. Get it all done before they fly!

Isn't it funny how they all love the column right before they fledge?

Reenie, your post about it being one week that we lost NG.I wrote the same thing in my ledger book about her flying away, never to return again. That's all I will say about that now.

LOOKS LIKE THE BOYS ARE DOWN FOR THE NIGHT AND LIL DAD IS GONE. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT WHAT JANE AND SUE SAW WHILE DOWN THERE TONIGHT. HOPING THEY FIGURE OUT WHERE LIL DAD GOES AT NIGHT.

Just went back to catch up. Thanks Reenie for posting the info on the Rachel Carson ship. Dave watches all the river traffic on Marine Traffic.com. Especially since my husband's son is a Capt. Mate on a tug and comes by quite often.

Oh I wish he wouldn't be testing his wings out there like that.

Dad just brought food!!!!!

Faith · **Posted:** Wed May 23, 2012 8:33 pm

Lil Dad on the point. Hope they can see all of this.

Wow! What a surprise--Lil Dad just brought the boys some food! :egg5:

I wondered why I thought they were settled in for the night then they started screaming!

I CAN'T BELIEVE LIL DAD IS BACK AGAIN AND BROUGHT FOOD AGAIN! I ONLY SEE ONE BOY THOUGH :-(

EDIT: OH, THE OTHER ONE WAS IN THE SCRAPE.

Oh good--it looks like Lil Dad has a full crop, too! He may have thought the boys didn't get enough to eat today with the rain.

I'm glad to see the one moved closer to the scrape. He was a little too close to the edge for me especially with all the flapping.

Faith · **Posted:** Wed May 23, 2012 8:43 pm

He's staying late tonight. Maybe he sees Jane and Sue!LOL!

I was just thinking that, Faith! :egg6:

The one night they hoped he'd retire at a decent hour so they could find out where his night perch is, & he stays at the ledge! :egg11:
