The majority of the "children" from the rookery seemed to be out and
raising cain/exploring the "neighborhood" yesterday. We had been seeing
a good deal of wing "exercising" from the nests high above the creek the
past few days, while the "parents" stood out in an adjacent soy bean
field resting their "nerves". Another successful year of GBH raising is
about completed! Now the rest of the summer will be unstructured
gadding about and frog catching near the pasture here. Sorry to see the
rookery empty out but good to see the results!
