One of the fledglings may have made it out of the nest. I spotted what appeared to be a baby bird getting flying lessons this evening.
With the watchful parents in the tree and on the ground, he appeared for a moment on the shed roof, darted awkwardly toward a large tree trunk, then balanced on the fence and rested for a moment before flying away.
Update:
The adult robins have been hanging around the yard for the past few weeks. Today I noticed a smaller bird nearby. It was a juvenile robin. One did survive. I’m not sure if the little bird I saw a few weeks ago was a robin or not, but this one definitely is.
