first attempt to fly - a video by jack

The June clutch of finch chicks have fledged but here is a look back at the day or so before they flew off.

This video was created with the help of my grandson Jackson. As all our families are sheltering in place, he and I spend time each week together online, working on various projects. This week I was showing him how I create videos for the Our Wildlife channel and blog, letting him play around with DaVinci Resolve.

Enjoy!

Watching the Nest

With the latest clutch of chicks large enough to sit up in the nest, it was fun to pull up the live stream for grandkids Harper and Jack to watch on the TV.

Feeding Time for June Chicks

The June chicks have hatched and within a few days were large enough to see in the nest as they crane their necks, mouths wide, for food from their parents.

June Eggs Have Hatched!

The June clutch has hatched. Lots of activity on the nest these days as the parents come and go with four hungry mouths to feed. Watch the live feed for glimpses of the chicks each trying to get their share.

It's amazing how fast they grow... before you know it, these chicks will have fledged!
