| Note: | Gayle K reports: I have been watching Sharks & Sandy teaching their offspring to hunt. They are so much fun. Check out this video I got on 7/19 with all three of them and a still shot I got on 7/8. They have been very active every time that I have been by there in the last 2 weeks. NOTE: 7/28 will be posted as date of first fledge, but this is just an estimate based on the observation reports to date. | ||||||
