Fledgling Day. This morning the House Wren parents would fly up to the nest, but not feed the chick. Initially one chick would stick its head out and beg for food, then another one would try to stick its head out above, and another one below the first chick. Eventually, the first chick went outside the entrance and the other two chicks blocked it from reentering the nest. It finally dropped down to the ground and started hopping around and begging to its parents “what do I do now???” Then it was just two birds looking out of the nest. Soon thereafter, the second one jumped out. I didn’t see it but presume the third one followed. Then it was a matter of learning to fly before becoming cat food.
