The adults continue to provide some food for the fledglings for about a month after they fledge. |
Fledging success may not accurately reflect reproductive success if fledglings differ in quality. |
Perhaps because of the ordeal of bringing a chick to adulthood, fledglings are spoiled with every possible advantage to ensure their survival. |
When the first brood fledges, the female starts the second brood and the male feeds the fledglings. |
We confirmed fledging by sighting fledglings, listening for fledgling begging calls, or sighting parents carrying food or scolding near the nest. |
The young form flocks with other fledglings and adults when leaving the nesting area after breeding season. |
