All of the eyasses were off the nest on Friday. I caught up with two of them. I couldn’t find the third.
The parents are still feeding them from the nest, so they are frequently returning there. At some locations, the fledglings never return to the nest, and on others it stays a feeding location for a while. I suspect some combination of height, especially on nests located on buildings, and condition of the nest, as some are full of flies, play a part.
Like any typical fledge week, the fledglings are staying fairly high in the trees. They should get lower and lower as the summer progresses.
