3 chicks reported to have fledged. A new female has also appeared, with a colored band on her right leg (male's color band is on his left) - didn't realize this until the next visit though

Realized on this visit there's a new female with a leg band. It's not clear where the fledged juveniles are; apparently, they haven't been seen much.

Reports are that the juveniles have been spending time across the lagoon. In any case, they haven't been around the nest much.
