Other Activity:

Observation Method: On foot

General Comments: Can now confirm both juveniles are fledged! Each were on adjacent poles. An adult, presumably the male, dropped a fish in the nest and left. One juvenile flew to get it. Took it to another pole to eat. As of Friday the younger juvenile was still on the nest but was getting some great height and I knew it would be soon. Very happy for another success story here in Haverhill.
