Well I missed another fledging. I thought that I could catch this one as the birds did not seem too active. I put our the morning feed of mealworms and periodically watched through the back window to see if there was any activity. I only saw the male and female bird take meealworms to the nestbox once. They both went to the opening and seemed to be coaxing one of the birds but I never saw it leave They went away and I made breakfast for my wife and I and waited. I took some laundry down to the basement and came back up – still no activity.
Finally about 1:00 PM I decided to check the box with my iPhone camera. Went to the nest box and did not get attacked by the parents. So I opened the door to an empty nest. Darn – missed again.
But we now have 3 new ones in the air.

It makes you wonder if they wait until they don’t see you looking.

You can even blink or you’ll miss it. No bathroom breaks when you are trying to catch it. I’ve given up trying to catch fledge day.
