RE: Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 168 ~ boy do they grow fast

in Feathered Friends7 months ago

They are growing fast and they are doing well. I can imagine how busy the parents are. 😀
How interesting, having a second nest nearby.
Thank you for your wonderful entry!

Thanks, Neli, it was a lot of fun checking in on them every day. Two days ago this is what I saw.

One egg that didn't hatch.

When I approached the nest that day,

this little fellow left the nest on its first flight.

Oh dear, these chicks grow like mushrooms.
So often they fell from the nests. But parents take care, don't they?
Just now I am watching three seagull babies on the rooftop. And since my eyes are very bad, I use binoculars. Guess what neighbours might think.🤣

I was wondering if once the fledglings leave the nest if the parents still care for them. The one that I put in this post took off into the woods shortly after taking its picture. Hopefully, the parents will be able to find it.

I hear you with the binoculars, I've got a pair of them right where I sit on the front porch, but at least I have no neighbors who may think I'm watching them. 😁
