Kingbird Family Update

After a night of strong winds, the next morning the nest was tilted almost vertical and only one youngster remained.
A resourceful Hank found a length of rope and secured the sapling to another tree putting the nest in a more level position.
No more photos as the nest is now hidden deep in the leaves.
Success ! The baby survived the huge rain storms that afternoon and the parents are feeding him constantly.

Nice shot to show it hugging the bottom of the nest so as not to fall out.

Sad to hear that not all had survived.

Good shot Linda. Great to see it doing well and being looked after by Mom and Dad this morning after our big storm late yesterday.

So sad to know that one of these poor babies was lost. But thankfully one survived, and kudos to you, Hank and others who helped secure the nest.
