Media notes
3 juveniles, approximately adult size, standing in the nest.
Observation details
3 juveniles were observed in the nest. The 2 adults were roosting in cottonwoods near the nest but were not observed until they flew from the cottonwood grove towards Wehrspann Lake where they disappeared from view. 1 adult later returned with a fish in its talons. It landed in a cottonwood located to the north of the nest cottonwood and proceeded to eat the fish. The 2nd adult later returned to view with a fish in its talon. It landed at the nest. Presumably the fish was eaten by the juveniles, but the view was blocked by the adult at the nest. The 3 juveniles appear to be the same size as the adults.
