I can see I need to add a ledge in my box for next year. I enjoy watching this live cam along with Nu-Sun Cinema & the Decorah Eagles in Iowa. Thanks so much.

Too bad. Not only i love their sounds, but it was very important as activity alert so you could do other things rather thyan watching the cam all the time and it will be even more so once they start flkedging and vocalizing outside. But it is what it is, and risking premature fledging would be a bad thing.

The microphone (or the wiring to the microphone) kicked the bucket last week, unfortunately. We had a very wet winter and spring. Unfortunately, we can't fix anything until after the kestrels are fledged - we don't want to risk a premature fledge by disturbing the nest now.
Once all the nestlings have fledged, we can look into the wires and microphone in detail and figure out what needs fixing for next season.

Hi again - are those poplar seeds floating around in the nest box or is that the very last of the baby fluff? We have a lot of them here. Boy, our birdies are growing up....

One kestrel chick looking out of the cavity is now actually three of them and one feeling left out. I actually saw the one in the box displace the one on the left and take her place. I don't think it's going to be long now!

Fluff indeed. They are losing all that white quickly, and with the dry environment inside of the box, it does a lot of floating!
