Robin fledgling leaves the nest 20240811 093057 001

Early this morning the first two left the nest, but one remained.
The adults visited about every 10 minutes with offers of food, but without letting the fledgling eat it.
You can see in the bottom of the nest that the adults have also stopped collecting the fledgling's droppings.
After about two hours of enjoying the spacious nest all to itself ... the last one made its first flight out.

ECE moments:
I like to show these nature videos to the kindergarten students. I use them as a nature based way to explore and promote discussions between students on everything from commenting on exactly what they see to extending that to reflections on their own actions and emotions.
