Yes, Margaret. I am still amazed that it went so smoothly. In the past three years I have lost two females and each time their replacements cleaned house and started their own nest I have heard of new males coming onto the scene after chicks had hatched and refusing to help care for them, and indeed, chasing them away as soon after they fledged as possible. But this was so quick and smooth it is almost like the bad parts never happened.

Here is another picture of step dad.
