[Birdnet] SL Int'l Airport Swainson's Pair have 3 chicks!

[Akwehl at aol.com]

This is the pair reported from Utah Tax Bldg in June/July 2004.   I first 
heard about them in early July and on 7/8/04 started videotaping.   3 days prior 
Steve Coleman had rescued and sent to rehab, one uninjured sibling from the 
ground under the nest.   As finale to my 1 hour video I attended his release 
that October.   

The '04 nest was very small, poorly situated, and literally destroyed by the 
fledgling.   Also the tree suffered from a grass fire and was essentially 
useless for repeated use.   Thus in 2005 I missed all the clues that could have 
led me to a new nest and missed that years family cycle.   But with 2 in '04 and 
3 in '06 these are very successful parents and this year have a nest only 
1500 feet from the '04 nest.   1500 feet diagonally because this time it is on 
the west side of I-215 on industrial US govt property.
