Field Notes
Habitat:
Mixed woods
Notes:
This was the smallest of the 3 fledglings. The other fledglings had already left the nest box 3 days prior to these shots. The day I visited the spot this one was still there. I was informed a few hours after I left at 10pm it had finally left the box. At one point I saw it had one leg completely out of the box but like when someone tries something for the first time it panicked and flapped it's wing enough to get back into the box. The mom had visited one time I was there to feed moth to it. And the mom and one or both of the other fledglings kept calling trying to coax the last one out.
