Awesome news!

Great news for them this year!  Strange so many places I follow or read about that their fledglings hang around the nest site way after fledging yet ours never seem to. Usually, once they leave, that's it in ever seeing them there again.

Except for last year here in Rochester.  That 2014 quartet was tight.  They all came back to the nestbox every night to sleep for several nights after fledging.  I think part of that was because the length of time between the first Mercury's fledge and Tesh's accidental fledge was considerable, and the fact that Nor'easter was injured coming back to the nestbox and Nettie stayed with him there for a few days.  Sadly, the only one who came back to the nestbox this year, even for a brief visit, was our dear Bronx.

i guess I don't remember that they came back after everyone was healed and gone.  I did think of Bronx when I wrote my post..his last goodbye.
