Earlier this week the parents were feeding the nestling crows about 12 times an hour. Today in the same time frame it's only once per hour. Instead they're just nearby calling over and over, sure seems like they're trying to lure these babies into making the big leap from the nest 🤞

Still some babies in the nest but it looks like only three of four and noticeably different behavior from the parents (spending way more time in the nearby ravine, calling a lot, just sitting up next to the nest rather than provisioning) that makes me thinking we've had successful fledge of 1 of 4
