Two weeks ago, this was the last of the nestlings to fledge from brood one in my yard 🐦, who I affectionately named Geronimo. I watched mom and dad coax him for hours to fly the coop. And now, he/she & the siblings are guarding the nest of the 4 family members to be, who are expected to hatch at the end of the month. It is such an amazing gift to be able to watch the cycle of life continue and know that I helped contribute to their success. Nature never disappoints.
The only downfall is that these little dudes eat about 10K live mealworms a week! They know the bird lady will always keep 'em coming 😀
