The remaining five flew today. The first at 8:45 a.m. and the fifth just before 1:00 p.m. I saw them all go and I got pictures of all but one. I won't bore you with each and every one of them. I was somewhat surprised that the chick that was hatched two days after the others left too, but he was number four out and he was the one I didn't get a picture of. He left so soon behind number three that I was totally unprepaired.

More about Number Four later.

Here is a shot of Mama coaxing one of the fledglings. I moved my chair right down within 20 feet of the nest box. It gave me a great view. It didn't seem to bother the bluebirds and I was able to keep the robins and mockingbirds away.
