And then there were none...

Today I was quite surprised when I checked in on the babies in the nest to find them gone!  I guess I miscounted and they fledged this morning.  I was thinking that they'd be around for a few more days.
Perhaps they will return to the nest tonight, before leaving tomorrow to destinations unknown.

I did get to see them today though.  They were checking out the neighborhood from a vantage point that Mom and Dad use regularly.  Their siblings were there also, I guess to wish them bon voyage.

Fly fast and free little ones.  May your lives be long and your journey's safe.

Note:  Below is the last photograph of the fledglings on the nest (just taken now).  Tomorrow they will be gone forever.
