Young 11 were back in nest - except for one - No young other than the two remaining in nest were closer than 5 ft. Of nest and two were 10ft from net when I left them - but five in net this am. - One jumped up and chucked if though tree as I approached with hand - other pair ducked low and would not let go of trying - I did not disturb them except me & the - me that fell yesterday. It still seemed a little wobbly but could push ok. - It was in same position in nest as when I left it yesterday. Parent did not quirt down much when I shut to do port but flew 2 young in two thin to net - should it nice - it was stubb stuff dirty in bottom yet other most of young were gone The floods seemed sweet turn and fed side I think but was very nervous - twitching tail and flying back and forth then took - scratching and begging a few turns
