Bill was at the Lift Bridge from about 1:30pm to 5:00pm. Everything seems to be progressing nicely. There isn’t much to report today so we’re just attaching a couple of photos.
The little ones are mobile now and can be seen from Street level. The Rectory on Church Street is a good sight line.
The weather this past week has kept the young ones out of sight of the camera. They have been huddled under the camera, tucked into the recess of the ledge.
Now that the Sheraton 4 are banded, now all we have to do is wait until they are ready to fly.
Today, the four were busy preening and preening, picking off the downy white fluff.
I estimate that a watch for juvenile first flights, should begin sometime around June 6th.
Males generally take first flight between 36 - 40 days of age.
Females take first flight at 38 - 42 days of age. The older the better
Went down to the site today to check on the family after last night’s storm. The young female juvie was laying on her belly in the nestbox looking quite put out by something and no sign of the other other two. So I went outside with the binoculars to check and see if they were tucked in under the webcam but of course you can’t see that from the street. Mom and dad were both present though, mom on the webcam and dad was gliding on the wind in front of the ledge area.
Back inside I went, in time to see dad land on the nestbox ledge. This got little missy up off her belly and she immediately started grabbing at dad’s talons looking for food no doubt, which explained her surly mood.
She then stomped off down the ledge after making him uncomfortable enough to leave the ledge so I ran back outside in time to see her standing under the cam telling mom what she thought of them both lazing around when there was food to be caught! This woke both her brothers up and I was able to see all 3 heads from my vantage point across the street.
When I left mom and dad were out flying around no doubt trying to convince the young lady that were indeed not slacking off and were actively looking for a snack for her 
When I observed no 2nd Adult present @ Yellow Pages, I decided to check Bell, and sure enough there were 2 Adults present on the East Side of the Building sheltering from the fairly strong Wind. That Wind plus the positioning of the Birds prevented me from checking the leg Bands of the Birds especially the Male which is suspected of attending the Females @ both Sites (Bell & Yellow Pages). Anyway this suspicion will not be put away until an observer is present at each site at the same time.
Checked in at Yellow Pages, for about a half an Hour or so, and saw pretty well what I expected. With the Cool weather and fairly high wind speed, I observed no action around the Nest Ledge, as the Adult would be tight to it. The one thing I also noticed was no 2nd Adult present (Figured I would check Bell before I came Home- See Report @ Bell Page) Anyway, no prescence seen in the Half an Hour or so I was on site.
