chicks had been observed flying near parents. adults knocked most of nest off the perch. I think that the adults have left. we see one or 2 smaller birds still returning

This nest tends to have nesting materials falling out of one side. Female was observed yesterday moving nesting materials around and branches and sticks were hanging out. Today I observed that the female was settled deeply in the nest and there wasn't any extras hanging over the side. There was a pile of sticks on the ground at the base of the pole beneath the nest.

Very active nest. Observe both adults sunning themselves on the nest. They call to each other often. Another adult cam be heard answering their calls. Possibly from nest 4703. Observed one flying off and the other resettling back into the nest.

this was the second nesting site on the road. The nesting pair built on a utility pole. The over hanging branches caused a fire on 4/01/07 destroying the nest and chicks. A second nest was started and also arced the wires. FPL was called and they placed a nesting platform above the wires.
