Observation details
Adult seen high in flight while driving in, possibly responding to nearby BAEA. Two juvenile birds were calling most of the time we were there. The birds recently fledged, but were mostly moving from branch to branch. One bird did fly (a simple glide) from one high tree to another. When in the second tree, a BGGN was persistently harassing the bird... making it move around a few times to different branch locations, but did not leave the tree. Could not locate where the nest, but it must have been somewhere nearby. A friend (non-birder) tipped me off to the location after seeing the birds in the area on several occasions, one of which included a snake dinner brought to the juveniles by adult bird. First picture is the bird that stayed in the same tree, the second is the bird that flew to another tree and shows BGGN attack.
