One large hatchling spreading it's wings today. Haven't seen the head of the other one this week. Hopefully still 2 in this nest. Mother is well attending every time I go by.
Two hatchling heads popping into view this morning. Mother feeding hatchling behavior observed over the last week. Male is around often as well. Great built nest as usual for this pair.
Two seen in the nest this morning! Nest has been vacant every time I've driven by over the past few weeks. They must have been out training up for hunting and heading south.
Nest vacant the three times I checked yesterday and this morning. Young were more mature than other UD nests so may have fledged while I was away. last week.
This nest has one very large young chic. More mature than the two in nest UD-3. Probably only one mouth to feed in the nest. No sign of any other young moving around.
Mom was feeding a young this morning when I drove by. A successful nest thusfar.
Again, this is the best built nest of the ones I observe regularly. It will be interesting to see what other differences we see with raising the clutch. This pair seems like confident, skilled veterans.
