They're watching somebody overhead. Hope it's not Mom and Dad with food not knowing that they can't get it. :girlsad3:

It sure could be...I guess....but, both parents have fed them this morning...see pics above.

Looking forward to their freedom in the next 1-3 days, but dread the not knowing if they are safe or not. Best wishes that all 4 have successful fledges and please return to the nest area so we can see you. Really going to miss them when they are gone. I was not lucky enough to catch the parents today, but know from sky's captures they were here. Also, hoping the band Orange girl swallowed came back up okay.

I'm with you, swinwk...I'm really going to miss these guys, too, but I'm ready for them to open the pen. I really was hoping it would be this morning.

I'm hoping they have a fledge watch team ready to go...and this would include somebody operating the cam. I'd have to go research, but I don't really remember them returning to the box/building. Maybe because they don't really "learn" where they are? They haven't established favorite spots in the nooks and crannies. Maybe the class of '21 will be different.

Anyway...caught one last feed with Dad last night around 7:15 pm. Yellow stayed in the box and didn't participate.

Dad passed the whole thing into the kids. It was a free for all. Yellow just watched.

Current

I think the kids are hoping lunch will come!!

I have no clue if there was an early morning feed.

Well, so far I have caught no feed. I've had the recorder on the cam non stop since about 9:30 am.

Maybe later.

It was super hot today, but weather this week should be good for release. Hoping for good luck. There are two new very high buildings next door that weren't there before.

Thanks Barb...Blue, especially, is ready to break out ASAP...with Red right behind him..the two males are chomping at the bit.

Food drop at approximately 6:35. Believe it was Mom.

This was earlier in the day. They were moving the cam. I had NO CLUE it was this high in relation to the box!!

Also earlier in the day. Blue going up.

When I first saw his tail feathers, I thought...gosh..he's gotten out!!! They look like they're outside the pen!!

Blue flying back to the box.

he's regularly been flying from box to pen and back. I haven't caught anybody else doing that. I wonder how far it is from the box to the pen?

It is 4 1/2 feet. The pen is 54" long, 35" wide, 45" high.

Dad started a feed a little before 10 am...its still going on.

Edit to add pics..

this one was funny. It was like Orange was pushing either red or blue away from the feed.

Instead of climbing up to the top of the pen, Red just now flew up!
