Number two appeared in the opening immediately after number one left and he fledged 7 minutes after the first one. Whereas the first one flew out of the box and then directly to the left, which is where both parents were, when the second one popped out neither parent was there, so once out, he seemed confused as to where to fly, fluttered a bit, nearly landed on the shepherd's hook, and finally landed on the lowest part of the hand rail leading up to the deck. He stayed there for at least 5 minutes, most of the time looking for a parent. When they came for him, he didn't follow them, and to my surprise they flew off, leaving him there by himself.

Here is number two on the hand rail.
