| Note: | Interloper from Quillens Pt #85 nest remains with the 2 natal fledglings. I’m not sure which might be that one, just a large female fledgling has been flying all around rhe nest area, skimming talons, play fishing, I expect she will catch a fish soon, 2 were eating as I passed in my boat, adult male was on his marsh perch with an entire fish waiting to deliver it, the best nesting pair to accept an extra fledgling! | ||||||
| August 2 | baygirl | 1 | N | 3 | young standing | ||
| Note: | One fledgling stuck in the water, unable to fly, other 2 coming and going to the nest. Fished waterlogged one out and put up in nest, the other smaller fledgling flew to nest and repeatedly attacked it, eventually it flew to the near by Cliffs isle duckblind and perched with the large female fledgling, I’m thinking the nest bully may be from 85, but I’m guessing, the 2 at duckblind get along. I don’t know if the small thin waterlogged bird will survive. Have only seen the adult male the past few days. Female probably left after the third arrived, she was staying away from the nest to eat and preen. | ||||||
