I love Costco for calendars. It`s all done online and shipped to me or my gift recipients.

Wonderful chronicle, Katy! Excellent detail.
Thanks, Mike! I was frustrated by the branches leafing out, but they really need that protection from the heat and sun and from predatory hawks.

Thanks so much, Hereford. They seem perpetually hungry. It must be exhausting feeding them.

I have taken some more photos of the young nestlings, being very careful not to be noticed, staying in the car, and leaving after a few minutes. It appears that their eyes are blue but I think it is a reflection from the membrane covering their eyes. I have noticed the same effect on the parents. I think they will be fledging in a week or so. The nest is very crowded with 4 or possibly 5 large "babies." (Downloads best)

Parent, a few trees away. Clearly no room in nest for parent to hang out.

They are all very good! You are lucky to have a place like that nearby.
