It appeared on this date that the two eldest Green Herons may have fledged, as they could not be located with the others. The helpers were also missing, which tells me that it was getting critical
that these birds begin to fly to start caring for themselves.
The second nest has been attended for a couple of weeks, so it is suspected that there will soon
be more young in the colony that will need exercise/flight attention in ten days to two weeks so another nest can be started.
This was also a good day to hang off the side of the hill at the Lakeview Road Bridge to get more
photos of Cliff Swallows, as more birds are fledging from the nest.
