All 4 should Fledge, I would think.
28 May Routine nest watch 1010-1210. However, ♂622, who
was certainly at Blom One 26 may, was here helping
at the nest!! 5 trips, feeding young, wakaiing with
♂297, etc., His days at Blomone may be over.
8 June Photo session here in the afternoon. All 4 adults 500 feeding
nestlings.
18 Aug Start 1050. 1215, Lots of news! The first bird
I find here turns out to be ♀601
Green/Yellow
Metal/ wnt-Lgreen
of Gate. She looks like she belongs here all right, although
I did see her open-wing waka with ♂297
Yellow≠Dgra/Or.
Looks bad for ♀435. She must have died during mid
July (last seen 3 July). Also, Juv 676
(still in Juv. plumage) here, but I was sure I saw ♂297
chasing a juv around the Blue Oak flycatch perch tree,
where are the other Juvs and ♂622 at ♀623,?
What about J678, seen at Blom 2 4Aug? Was his
movement over there precipitated by the new ♀ arrival here?
End 1310. Only those 3 birds seen. In fact, I saw 3 fly
off way downstream along Big Creek, toward Horsetail, and I
got no other hint of anybody else nearby. Note. I saw ♀601 at
Gate on 16 July, so I suspect she moved about 1 Aug ± 2 weeks.
