12:30-1:30 on Sat.  Adult dropped some kind of prey in the nest for the single baby in the nest, but it wasn't interested.  After about 5 mins a fledgling flew from the nest area, towards the power lines and back to the trees about 50 feet to the west of the nest and out of sight.  There was brief "crashing" sounds, but they didn't seem to indicate falling.  The nest appeared empty, but within 5 minutes there was another baby in the nest.  I could have been mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that the nest was empty for at least a brief period- I did not have binoculars, so could have missed one if it was sitting in the back.  At some point the second adult appeared and all seemed relaxed.  There were a few bouts of babies vocalizing, at times there were clearly 2 babies vocalizing at the same time- the one in the nest and the other off to the east and out of sight. Both parents were hanging out and did not seem agitated at all.
