Fledging flycatchers

 

Less than a week ago, I posted pictures of a Pacific-slope Flycatcher hanging around its nest in a local carport. Ron Welwood, from whom the flycatchers appropriated the space, has sent me a picture of the chicks standing in the nest. Fifteen minutes later the chicks had fledged.

An adult Pacific-slope Flycatcher waits impatiently for those pesky humans to leave its carport.

Finally, the two chicks stood up in the nest. A short time later, they were gone.
