June 30- the July 2nd fledge of Parula warbler

June 30 , 4:14, the Female removes a fecal sac
a couple times I saw her bobble the sac but recover to re-catch it

Female Parula at nest
this was the only time I  saw her using a back door to the nest, suggesting that she was feeding a second chick, I saw only one fledge.

She would often land nearby then make the delivery

the last delivery to the nest,  July 2,   3:03
3:04,  2020 Parula warbler, leaps from the nest does not fly.
the fledgling Parula walked to a nearby hydrangea, (ornamental in our door yard) and hopped aboard
fledgling Parula warbler, using blunt wings to scale trunk of Hydrangia bush
it burned itself in the foliage 
yet the feed kept comming
yet hunger persisted

the mother continued to gather food diligently


5:12, July 2,  they moved away from the nest area and I lost track of them.
