Description

After being fed by his dad, this young male nestling was steadily shoved out of the nest box by his sister. The male finally gave in to the inevitable and fledged, flying steadily about 100 feet to a tree, closely followed by his dad. The impatient sister fledged 1 or 2 minutes later in a different direction, followed by mom. 2 or 3 siblings fledged next morning. I think this is a better photo, from full video uploaded to NestWatch site.
