こちらのアオバズクも間も無く巣立ち
先日、お伝えしたアオバズク はまだ巣立っていませんでした。台風の影響で今夜の巣立ちはないでしょう。
近場のアオバズクも 6日前 と比べるとかなり成長して綿毛はほとんどなくなっていました。こちらもいつ巣立ってもおかしくないのですが、強風で今夜はお預けでしょう。
昼間は顔をのぞかせるだけでしたが、夜は、巣の入り口に立ち、全身が見えていました。
It appears to be just one bird this time. It's keeping an eye on me, swaying its head left and right and twisting it around.
Already impressive feet.
A big yawn.
It dozed off for a while too.
At night it watches from above like this as people out for a walk pass beneath the nest tree.
During the day, it was showing just its face.
The male parent standing guard during the day had returned to the branch he used during the incubation period.
The female parent was perched in a tall tree. Both male and female were in different spots from the past few days.
