No Cowbird activity observed in or around nest, but was heard in neighborhood that morning.
Chicks were not vocalizing yet but were aware of presence of EW when checking nest. All chicks appeared to be healthy, no noticeable health concerns.
Only one parent spotted. Other parent could have been nearby but unnoticed. Accidentally spooked nearby parent when ladder used to look in nest was dropped when leaving site; spooked parent flew into nearby Tulip tree, but still in sight of nest. Returned to nest afterwards.
