The 3 nestlings and 1 adult were all perched in the nest initially. Lots of calling was going on. Then one of the nestlings took flight, soared over the marsh and disappeared. Shortly after a second one did a short flight, and returned to the nest. The adult remained perched, and the 3rd did not take flight while we watched. We saw the first fledgling flying around the marsh as we left.

Too far to be sure , but one that I think was adult was perched, still, on nearby perch. At least one in nest. One head poked up a few times not always facing same way. One perched may have been juve, couldn't see at that distance. Think only one in nest, and it may have fledged and come back, since I thought last week they had fledged.

When I first checked in at 8:29 there were only 2 fledglings on nest (I assumed Pip-oldest) had flown off, but I didn't see him take off. Then about 1 minute later Squeek (I assume) flew off and returned shortly. In the meantime, Ollie was hopping and flapping his wings. A couple minutes later Squeek (?) flew off and returned again. Still no Pip when I checked out the first time at 8:39. I returned to the site at 9:08am and noted all 3 fledglings back on the nest and Annie on the nest post.

I think there was one chick and an adult on the nest, but could have been 2 chicks--too far to see color difference though one I thought was a chick looked lighter. One I thought was a chick did some wing flapping. One I thought was flegling was on perch very close to nest, it too looked lighter, and it did some wing-flapping. Don't know how many chicks there were for sure because nest built very high and only seen 2 at once that I was sure of, and only once or twice have I seen chicks so far!

Other Activity:

I began observing when one adult and one nestling were in the nest. Adult flew off and the nestling stayed but flapped wi gs a bit. One of the babies fledged yesterday. That one came back, and the adult was perched on a high mast nearby. The 1st fledgling flew off again, then 2nd fledgling (finally... maybe for the first time!) Flew cautiously to a nearby boat. I didn't have time to see how it gets back up to the nest! The other adult could be heard calling in the distance, and adult #1 was flying around, keeping an eye on the kids.
