Yes, it's true: David Bridge was by this evening (Thur June 11)
and after the adults exchanged nest duty at 7 pm and the youngsters
were finished with their feeding frency, we watched them flap their
wings (some primaries still partially in sheath) we noticed that
we were viewing three on one side of the nest and two on the other!
They look like they might still be on or around the nest about one
more week before flying off, probably to begin crayfishing lessons
with the adult out crayfishing. Now's the time to come see them
before they're gone fishin'! Call either Pete or Carolyn Webb
(410) 486-1217 or e-mail here at pwebb@bcpl.net to let us know
when you'd like to come; I reccomend the 6:30 to 7:30 pm hour
to catch all the action. The other times of day, they are likely
to be snoozing and inactive as they were when Dave first got here
at 6:15 pm today. At that time, one could see one or maybe two
youngster's back(s) and the attending adult's crown, and nothing else.
More reports as developments warrant.
