In
the Nest
DAY
20: Starling Fledgling Right before Leaving the Nest
I
was wrong. This little guy was hiding from me. I heard him chirping for mom
up in the rafters of the house, but mom starling couldn't find him. It eventually
found its way up into the storage loft above my garage where I had a fun time
tracking it down amongst all the junk up there. At first he skittered away from
me, but then, started coming toward me when I shined a flashlight its way. I
eventually caught him and took a few pictures and then waited out near the nest
where mom quickly showed up. The two started talking to each other so I tossed
the youngster up in the air and it flew away over the hedge into the neighbor's
yard with mom following closely.
