6:27 AM Three adults at nest? All three birds had yellow, not red eyes, and feathers were brown, and not white-tipped. Two in nest together and third delivering food. Unlike typical nests in cell towers that are at top platform, this nest is on platform under cell tower's top platform. 59°F, 92% humidity, 5:45 AM sunrise.
