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.
