It was quite noisy down on the water this afternoon. In the past few weeks I've seen Elena and Alejandro spend time on their nest, but the older brother Diego prefers to spend time on their favorite evergreen tree across the water. Tonight, all three were on the nest screaming their heads off for dinner delivery. Zorro and Esperanza were nowhere in site and didn't appear during my short visit. I wonder if they are starting to cut the kids off to force them to start fishing on their own. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds with these youngsters.
