Other Activity: Can now confirm there are two chicks! Both adults on and around nest for duration of visit. Mother was feeding chicks when I arrived. Father brought in sticks to build up the sides of nest. Appear to be about two- three weeks old. There was a third adult flying around. Came close to nest. Male chased him off. Happy to see this nest produce two offspring again. Hopefully all goes well.
