Observation details
First heard flyover calls periodically at my parents cabin on Black Bear Run across the Kunjamuk Creek but was unable to see the bird. It sounded like it was circling the Sacandaga Trail so I took my camera to investigate. About 20-30 minutes later, I observed 3 juveniles perched in a tall pine just across the street from King of the Frostys. Within a few minutes, an adult approached the tree and fed one of the juveniles. The offspring never took flight but I could not locate a nest in the tree. I observed the same behavior for the next two days (until July 29, 2020) after which point I left the area as our vacation was over.
