As of August 8, there are a number of osprey nests locally where young have=
not fledged the nest yet. One nest in particular probably has about two w=
eeks to go before the young will leave the nest for the first time.

Many thanks Lance. The Phoebe chicks were getting pretty large and filling =
the nest. The sapsucker chick(s) quite noisy but the adult bird put head w=
ell into nest hole to feed and the chick head could not be seen sticking o=
ut the hole.
I just had not remembered myself finding a sapsucker nest beyond the first =
or second week of July.
Thanks for the hint of using the Quebec atlas site.
Cheers
