A view through the haze!

Here's a glimpse of three of the nestlings through the tiny sliver of still clear lens from earlier today:

The chicks are becoming more mobile and walking around the nestbox. Hard to believe they are only 2 1/2 weeks old!

Banding is scheduled for next week: Thursday, May 21 at 10 a.m. It will be shown over the nestbox live streaming view. Crews will begin setting up inside the building on Tuesday, May 19 which will include hooking up the necessary cables and testing the system. So, there may be times during the day on Tuesday that the feed is unavailable. Hope everyone can tune in on Thursday! Voting for the names of the chicks ends today. The winning names will be announced on Monday.
