The adults re-nested. Photos of male from 6/26/15 show him in a declivity which is actually a nest with 4 eggs. Quite unusual for PIPL to have new clutch while rearing a chick.
Fledgling and male PIPL, Shell Ave, 6/28/15. Tire track from bike tire.

6/26/15 Shell Ave PIPL family of 3. Today found both adults tending the fledgling at 61 Shell Ave in Milford. We've been wrong to think the lone tender of the past few days was the male: it's the female. Photos below show the whole family, with the male easy to separate from the female. Notice the fledgling's flight feather stretch.
