Kids are clear back in the corner so they can't be seen on cam. They're being fed right now.

Chicks are all in hiding as of 8:00 this morning. Glad you caught that feeding, Nancy.

Glad you found CJ in the box this morning, Ethel. I can barely see some of one chick in the lower corner of the screen right now.

You can really see how CJ's wing tips come all the way back to the tip of his tail.

They may have come out of hiding because Red Girl had prey. Kind of looked like a Modo. :-(

HBG had a live prey brought in today! A Red Bellied Woodpecker at that. Upsetting, but that is the price for watching these wonderful creatures.

Greg thank you for the wing description on CJ. Very helpful. RG has short wings in comparison. Easier for ID.

Glad they are out of the corner.

Feeding underway now. As Jane said yesterday, new gray feathers look like mourning dove.

Missed the feeding earlier. Can see a couple little butts in the corner, and little tail feathers starting to come in.

Overdrive is right! From what I saw of the chicks today (which wasn't much as they spent most of the day out of sight in the corner), they're getting very big already. It most certainly is due to the large and varied diet that CJ and RG have been providing.

Am late for the first feeding, as adult was just leaving the nest. Who knows, maybe it wasn't the first?

Tuned in to find everyone in hiding this morning. You'd never know there are chicks up there. Cuckoos have arrived, I see.

Well at least a couple of chicks ventured out from their corner this morning.

One of the parents is on the box ledge looking in at the chicks . . . . Red Girl. Now she's in the box.

At least two new pigeons since I looked yesterday,

Lunch just arrived, and the one chick that was outside the corner in now back in the corner.

Ah, this is better . . . at least two of the chicks are visible.
