Carolina Wrens Fledge

Ah the irony. After building two great bird-house camera studios, a pair of Carolina Wrens got into the shed and nested in my hardhat hanging on the wall.  I moved one of my mini cameras over and got some images. This one is the day before fledging and the largest of the chicks is experimenting with leaving the nest cavity and exploring the rim of the hat.

The video below shows the chicks actually fledging. The video is sideways because of how the camera was rotated.
