Bob Augustine called to tell me he had found a nest with one remaining young
along Chevy Chase Lake Drive in Chevy Chase. This runs east from Connecticut
Ave. just north of East-West Highway. The nest overhangs the street
opposite the apartment complex labeled 3617-3609. The street is decorated with
whitewash which suggests that it might be hazardous to park under the nest. This
nest could be the source of the birds recently reported from nearby by Howard
Youth.
There are still five nearly fledged young in the nest off Elmhirst Pky. and
Broad Brook Drive in Bethesda, but they may be close to departing.
