   Still haven't seen more than three baby butcherbirds at once since they left the nest. I think either I'd misidentified an adult, or one didn't make it.

   Baby wattlebirds are very independent now, still making baby sounds, but foraging and moving around on their own. I haven't seen an adult feed them for a while now.

   Baby magpie seems to be foraging less on their own now and relying more on being fed by Dad. A surprise, since it seemed like they were being weaned weeks ago.
