Observation details

Fairmont Ridge - M and F calling to each other at 5:24pm. Chabot Pasture Pair - M,F and J started calling out at 5:40pm. Juvenile was begging for food but the Adults ignored them. Too dark to video but was able to catch the sounds of the 4 CP GHOs. On the Audio you hear the 1st J (sounds like a Barn Owl) at the beginning, then the F at 24secs, the M responding at 26 secs and the 2nd J starting at 1min15secs (sounds like a Heron). Merlin correctly identified all sounds as GHOs. Saw the F and 2nd J flying. First time I am able to confirm there are 2J as I heard them calling simultaneously from two different directions. Distane between the two Pairs 0.75 - 1.0 mile. Correction - Confirmed on a later date that there must only be one Juvenile.
