Hmmm, that one is real close to the edge at the street edge of the nest (as opposed to window edge or ledge edge)

Missed most of the afternoon, but every time I looked in on them they were asleep.

Earlier, the Formel had her talons full with these 2 - they were grabbing it out of her beak!

(Note: the quality of these scaps is definitely impacted by the Philly weather)

With the glare it is virtually impossible to get a great scap today, but here's what happened.

The Tiercel arrived and was feeding the eyasses. The Formel landed to the right with a gigantic piece of greenery! Tiercel left, she continued feeding them and then she was off.
