they're flying! I just walked out to see them taking off. one's still in the nest though--playing it cautious, I guess

They grow up so fast! All four are still looking healthy: eyes opened and alert. And they're so big! Can't wait to see these babies fly

Chicks are confirmed.
There are at least three and possibly a fourth. The fourth seems less vigorous than the others. Hopefully things go better than last year...

I can confirm that they're roosting above my door. I stepped out to put my trash in the bin last night and peeked one of them there. before I'd see one in the nest and one nestled in these little plastic needles (which I think are supposed to deter birds🤔), but I only definitely saw one last night
