Media notes

Bird had fledged in the previous 24 hours. I had checked the previous day and young were still in the nest.

Observation details

Visited site again to see if young had fledged. After several minutes of searching for a very noisy bird, a fledgling Brown Creeper was spotted at 2:45pm. Fledging had occurred during the previous 24 hours. Video and photographs of this fledgling were obtained. Only one fledgling observed (two observed following day). The bird flew clumsily and very noticeably hopped up an angled tree branch. The tail of the bird was very short and almost non-existent. My wife, Renee, and I left the area after about 25 minutes to allow the adults to feed the bird.
