I'll try to get a movie today if possible, but it's so dark in the shed even in full sunny days.
Here's a pic (before I turned off the nightvision this morning) of the little guys/gals starting to spread those wings! Sad, but fun to watch! Shouldn't be but 2-5 days before they fledge!

They are so still I swear they don't breath when I come in the shed to get pictures now. With their eyes open, I don't want to chance getting over the nest with the camera and scaring them, so this is all I could get. One keeping an eye on me, while not moving a hair! Of which they are nearly fully dressed now

Below is a file where you can view these little guys practicing for their first flight. Keep in mind that they are in an unfinished shed. Behind the area of the nest, where one is walking on a 2X4, is a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. There is no soffit behind them. The first day they did this, we never saw their legs, as they kind of scooted along it for fear of falling down to the ground.

I hope this works!
