| May 10 | CyclistBarb | 2 | U | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | One adult which turned out to be the male was sitting on the nest as if incubating. The female flew in with lots of vocals, and both fussed with the nest arranging sticks. Then the male flew off & circled around, then flew back to the nest again. Finally, he perched on a post on the second tier below the nest which is on the top. The female settled down in the incubating position. I heard lots of vocals from both. The road to the cell tower is now gated. I got out to read the note attached to the gate and set off an alarm! I can see through the chain-link fence adequately. | ||||||

| Note: | The adult female was sitting at the edge of the nest. The chicks were difficult to see except when they did a wing stretch or lifted their heads for a moment. | ||||||

|
| Note: | When I arrived, the female was on the nest but flew off and left the two chicks by themselves. | ||||||
| July 26 | CyclistBarb | 1 | N | 1 | young standing |

| Note: | The mother was on a post next to the nest; one of the two chicks was lying down low, almost hidden while the other was standing tall and flapping its wings. | ||||||
