I suspect this will go down as the last time I see these two cuties. The nest they were raised in is well-hidden and doesn’t lend itself to pictures so I never bothered to share images of them previously. Now, however, they have left the nest and started exploring other trees in the stand. On this morning, both were very visible, sitting out in the open. One appears to have been up late judging by the big yawn it gave.
