June 6th - 2013Hi Again,

It’s really too bad you guys can’t get access to the building this year, because it looks like we were bang on with our hatch-date estimate of May 14. I saw four chicks in the nest window today that looked to be about 24-25 days old. Tomorrow would have been a perfect banding date. It’s hard to see in the photos, but at one point all four heads were poking up out of the big pile of white fluff. The female was perched on the broken window frame in front of the nest and the male was sitting on top of the building on the north (down-river) side.

I’m sure you guys are kept ultra-busy banding all those other babies up there! I hope you’re having a good season so far.

Cheers,
Jacquie
