Carolina Chickadee Fledgling
I had a pair of Carolina Chickadees nest in one of my nest boxes this spring. This birdhouse is near my driveway and when I drove by I noticed this Carolina Chickadee fledgling looking out. I parked and got this photo. I can see this birdhouse from inside my house and I knew this fledgling would leave the nest soon. About 30 minutes later, I saw it fly to a nearby tree.
