This AM I observed 3 babies. They have new feathers and look very much
like their parents. The tail feathers are about 1" long. They are
quite active, sitting on the edge of the nest, stretching wings,
preening, etc. It should not be too long until they fledge. I do not
know how close they will stay to the nesting tower after they fledge.
There is plenty of suitable habitat in the surrounding area.
