User's notes

Bumper crop now. The chicks from the first nest are now all over the place on their own, mostly stripeless except for their heads. The second nest has one large chick out, a mess of little ones, and perhaps some eggs still in there as a parent bird was sitting on the nest. The partner came over with food and fed the nest sitter, and the hatched chicks one by one.
