After coming out of hiding two weeks after fledging, my sole surviving fledgling was being fed by the father daily. Several days ago he disappeared. I haven’t seen the baby in 5 days. The parents are around daily. I expected the fledgling to be around for a full four weeks being fed by the parents, which will be June 14.
Anyone have experience with how long these little guys stick around?
His sudden disappearance leads me to believe he has succumbed to predation.
