This is a suspect day.  I believe that clutch 4 is here, but the only proof that I have is that
clutch 3 has moved from its nest tree, and has been encouraged to be more self sufficient.
They are being rarely fed (only once that I noticed).

There was also a great deal of adult movement, which would be normal for feeding chicks.
Also, both clutch 2 and 3 appear to be in a state of frenzy, as though they are not certain what
they should be doing, other than "something."  Clutch 2 has also been watching the nest tree.
