The fledglings are growing and learning to fly. We watched mama and papa flying with them in lesson last evening. They can get from tree to tree without problem. This morning two of the three fledglings were sitting together in our crape myrtle tree. I was able to get close enough to get a shot. This is what they look like at 14 days olds. Beak is black, eyes still bulgy and beady like a lizard, little tail is growing with slight red molting, plume coming in on top of head, coloring is a brownish above, and lighter tan/brown below, slight red molting on head and wings. Later the two were snuggling together in a different tree taking a nap. I wonder where the 3rd one is? Mama and papa were not around for the length of time I was here observing, 5-10 minutes so it makes me think they may have been with the third somewhere. I hope so because I did see a hawk this morning and they eat small birds. I'll show that in my next post.
