アオバズク、昨日に続き2巣目巣立ち

昨日の巣立ち に続き、ほかの場所のアオバズクも巣立ちしていました。少し遠い場所なので頻繁には観察していませんが、巣立ちビナは、営巣木のすぐ近くの枝に止まっていたのと羽毛の具合から見て巣立ち後、3〜4日でしょう。

ついでに昨日のアオバズクの巣立ちビナも見にいくと昨日の位置からほとんど移動していませんでした。こちらは巣立ち後2日目。公園内なので行き場はあまりないのでしょうか。

A different nest site from yesterday. A Brown Hawk-Owl chick, seemingly about three days post-fledging. While several birds were confirmed at the nest, only one had fledged. There was also only one parent, so the other chicks and a parent are probably somewhere out of sight.

Day two since fledging. Barely moved from day one. ^^;
