| When the first brood fledges, the female starts the second brood and the male feeds the fledglings. |
| We confirmed fledging by sighting fledglings, listening for fledgling begging calls, or sighting parents carrying food or scolding near the nest. |
| They have protected the nest since March, and continue to do so now the fledglings are almost ready to fly the nest. |
| The young form flocks with other fledglings and adults when leaving the nesting area after breeding season. |
| These females were still observed feeding the fledglings while at the same time incubating their second clutch. |
| We cannot yet reliably locate, capture, and study fledglings and recently independent young birds. |
