Day 7 with the nestlings, who ate believed to be older than a week, likely in the vicinity of 3 weeks
of age.  The two eldest made an attempt for a little exploration, but did not go far.

The Brown Thrasher shown is in the area of its nest.  There are several thrasher pairs on Heron Cove.

A Gray Catbird was observed on the east side of The Cove, likely one that nested there over the past several years.

The mother is currently in another nest almost directly behind these young.  As soon as these young were old enough and with proper feathering to not get sunburned, she was upon the second nest.
