Great documentation of the nesting and the video of the begging chicks being fed is the real topper!<br /><br />According to Birds of North America Online, "Young and adults initially stay in the vicinity of the nest, and are often observed within 200 meters of the nest at least 2 weeks after fledging. Young tend to perch separately in vegetation awaiting parental feedings. Young generally silent, except for occasional contact calls between adults and chicks, and loud begging calls emitted when adults with food are nearby."<br /><br />They don't state why the fledglings separate like this but it appears to be the norm.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-81700050403217832282012-07-10T16:55:34.751-06:002012-07-10T16:55:34.751-06:00Thanks everyone - it really was a great experience...Thanks everyone - it really was a great experience! Funny, because now I've heard adults calling in other areas and am in tune with the begging call of little vireos, and so now know there are many more of them around.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183856724432493348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068198388134099737.post-61028669485837678992012-07-10T16:08:25.067-06:002012-07-10T16:08:25.067-06:00What a wonderful experience for you.
