June 11
I didnt take pics June 10, too busy.
I did see the crazy happy bums!
One laid on the edge near cam, one wing hung over the side. :nailbite:

One was perching facing cam left on a perch below roof still on cam
Exploring they are

Thanks cat - good pics - wonderful colors!

Cloudy today so kids aren't hiding the shade. :clapegg:

Parent is in the box, one flapping its wings is on the back perch, and 2 are in the shade. One I assume is around the back of the box.

I've been watching.
Its the very picture of PEACE.
Dad thot he was safe on the roof. NOPE!
One juvie loves Dad's perch behind house and to left

I am sure Elkies will tell us if one fledges.
Is there a tree nearby?

I see 3 juvies perched on the front of the nestbox, parent on guard behind
Late yesterday cat saw all 4 juvies
They sure seem happy.
It feels like such peace here - except for the constant trains

Fledging is happy-sad.
Its normal so its happy, but we lose them.
All 5 kestrels fledged yesterday. They are gone. Sad.
But I am so happy she fledged all 5 eggs.

:loveheart2:

I don't know--I think 2 of them might have fledged. Parent brought food and only 2 of them are fighting over it.

They are ready
I saw all 4 earlier today
Such a NICE family

I think this is my favorite cam - but I also like the Omaha north playground.
Their box is an awful pigpen - the juvies trip around. ugh

:flirty:
