These two are getting well fed by the looks of it. Wingo likes to bring the marsh birds home.  He had an American Coot last week and just the other day he brought a Killdeer.

This morning

Oh those two will be up on the edge of the nestbox sooner than we'd like!  :o

These two are losing all their white fluff and able see their lovely brown feathers.  They were watching mom, she had a pigeon on the northeast corner of the McKenzie roof which while was there never shared with the chicks, she cached it somewhere. Wingo was on the north side also.

These two were on the roof of the box today! I'm not sure of the gender now.....maybe two female or two male.  ???  If mom would hang with them it would be easier to tell. But that didn't happen today and they will be self feeding anyway.

I think in all your recent photos RCF that we can only see the feet on one of the chicks - yes?  I as because the feet on the bird on the left in your top photo below I am confident belong to a female!!

They are growing fast - same age as the Radisson birds and seemingly willing to take the next (big) step in their own time. Hopefully that attitude will serve them well!

Oh those two look ready to go aright ... maybe the cooler weather this week will be the catalyst.
Fingers crossed either way!!!

And I was looking at the top picture on July 4th and both those ankles look kinda chunky ...do they seem like that to RCF? Can you have a look (photo or no photo) next time you are checking on the kids? From that July 4th photo I'm kinda leaning towards maybe 2 girls ... but you "see" them which is always better ...

I thought that earlier but it's hard to tell. There doesn't seem to be a significant difference in size between the two.....so maybe! :-\

 I didn't see either chick in or on the box this morning. Both parents were on the McKenzie building so they are probably on the lower roof or very close by.

From yesterday
