Well, no fledging pictures yet. I watched that box from 6:00 a.m.until about 7:00 p.m. and all I saw was intermittent peeking. So I decided they were not going to go today and I started getting my cameras ready for tomorrow. Then, suddenly, it did not look like there were so many crowded around the opening. Turns out two of them fledged about 8:00, while I was moving pictures from my cards to the computer. There was still nearly an hour of daylight left and the adults continuously tried to coax the others to follow. But darkness finally fell and the three are spending one more night in the nestbox. I expect the adults to be at the box at first light and the chicks will probably be ready. I only hope they wait until there is enough light to take pictures.
