Three days later on my return and I find the nest empty…or so I had thought. Until the calls of juvenile could be heard.
The nest is large enough that when sitting down inside the birds are completely hidden.
Then some movement and a lone chick appeared, and a distant chick calling could be heard. Well one had fledged as it was pole perched away from the nest.
Then the jumping and flapping began at the nest…then lift off.
Perhaps it was a first flight I’m unsure never the less both chicks now up and flying.
