More Visits to the Nest
12 August - I finally saw both parents at the nest together. At one point another adult showed up and the parents quickly vocalized their displeasure and it left the area. I have not yet seen the nestlings.
Observation - 3hrs.

14 August - I watched the parents for a while, taking food to the cavity. I then decided to go look for the fledgling and to my surprise I found two. These two could have been from the same clutch or two separate sets of parents. I estimate there could be three pairs in the area (entrance road, Hummock and Piney Point area). I watched these two juveniles find feeding areas and chase each other from one tree to another. As I was leaving CBEC I saw a third adult red-head at the entrance road.
Observation - 2hrs, 15min
