Filmed in mid-May, the video documents several nests with noticeably developed young birds. One observer, who wishes to remain anonymous, commented, "It's amazing how big they've gotten already. Usually, they're much smaller at this time of year." The video suggests a possible correlation between environmental factors and the accelerated growth of the chicks.
