Here's an update to the previous, "Oh Bother, (Christopher) Robin", posting from May 28 -
All 4 babies have fledged the nest successfully.
All 4 babies fledged the nest when spooked by us adults - me when I brought the trash out; 2 took off. One when Emilie when to check them out and the 4th when JoAnne walked by. All followed by endless yelling and cackling by the parents.
Only 1 of the 4 didn't have enough umph to clear the pool fence. This dude took a sharp right outta the nest and came to rest beside the echinacea.
The last I saw of him was on the far side of the pool hoping around and looking for a way out -
The parents now have their work cut out for them - tending to each in different locations.
