The chicks continue to do well. Growing quickly!
The owner of the cam has installed a Crow deterrent. Crows were a big problem last season, and one attacked the nest when the last chicks were trying to fledge! One was lost, and one found on the ground and put back. Since then the owner, claims he saw both babies at his feeder, but of course one cannot be sure they were the same as those from the attacked nest.
This crow barrier is some kind of netting thing that hangs strings down, to foil the crows. I guess they don't like the feeling of that so maybe those pests will leave this nest alone now.
