| July 12 | baygirl | 0 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | 2 natal chicks crying to be fed, one older chick, a larger fledgling has joined the nest, possibly from Nat Guard 1 as that chick is missing and likely fledged, that is the only other older chick in the area , this additional fledge may not go home putting food stress on the 2 younger natal chicks | ||||||
| July 14 | baygirl | 1 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | 3 large chicks on nest, one is an interloping fledgling from few days ado, it won’t be leaving , one had a whole fish m not sure now which is the natal chicks, all look to be fledglings | ||||||
| July 19 | baygirl | 0 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | Both chicks on nest, one looks weak, the extra fledgling interloper is still on the nest, causing food stress no doubt | ||||||
| July 24 | baygirl | 0 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | One calling for fish appears very close to fledge, has a dark necklace and more dark feathering on head, second larger fledgling on nest, whiter head, whiter chest, at least 1 has fledged here. Concern for the younger bird as there’s been an interloping fledged with the 2 natal chicks. I never see an adult here recently. | ||||||
