One of the parents has already landed on the wall, while other one flies around.

Probably Clara flying around.

Oh my word, is this not the funniest thing?

Look at those kids hunkered down...

And, Glenn's a big believer in the parents get the satisfaction that they "scared" the intruder off their ledge/nest...

There's Fernando on the wall.

If he follows his same pattern, he will go out and bring in a meal once things start calming down.

Clara's still in the air.

I think Clara's going to tag Fernando to get him back in the air... :teehee:

I think she did that last year..

Guess she has to take her frustration out on somebody!

They just did a little preview on the news. They are going to interview Glenn, so we will find out what we've got in a few minutes...

Cute little FC defending the ledge. Well, they will calm down eventually, they always do.

Glenn's on cam now..

Says they are doing well, 2 girls, 2 boys.

Approx 250 - 300 pairs in CA today, 34 years ago only 2 pairs in California.

All 3 kids from last year were spotted after they fledged.

Said that the parents didn't cut them any slack this year. Glenn said he had no injuries because the kids aren't really that strong enough to do any damage at this point.

He gave credit to his undergraduate student, Nicky for helping him - and let him talk to the reporter too!

Thanks for the coverage everybody! Sounds like it went well & I'm very glad to hear they all are healthy!

I'm going to add the banding info to Nesting Info so it will be easy to find.

I feel sorry for the boys, especially the smaller one. He sometimes hangs back when it get too physical.
