The 6th nest check of the ECMPMR colonies proved to be a rewarding one, as many of the eggs have hatched! The Memory Lake Colony now has 13 nests with young! The oldest nestings, found in the T-14, are 8 days old, and are expected to fledge on June 7th. Five other nests contain eggs. The Snake River Colony is much younger than the Memory Lake Colony; thus, the nests are a bit behind. Four of the nests contain young, while the other 11 still contain eggs. The earliest fledges from this colony are expected on July 13th. The Pokegama Lake Colony's six nests currently only contain eggs. The rather large ECE Colony has several large broods with six nestlings. There are currenty nine nests with young, four of which have six nestings! The other 16 nests contain eggs. The first fledges at the ECE Colony are expected on July 8th. The ECE Colony also has a few later nests, which are expected to fledge on August 8th! The Rush Lake Colony has one nest with six young, the other eight nests contain eggs.
