Hey Gregg, thanks for passing on your observations. I'm beginning to think there may be two juveniles and two adults in the Clayton neighborhood. I found a nest with a young bird in it being fed by an adult. Your observations sound like another young bird that has fledged and being fed by adults. Will be interesting to see more observations as folks continue to observe these birds. Here is my list with pics of juvenile on nest being fed by adult. https://ebird.org/checklist/S94252968
