Observation details
Came to check the nest site after getting out of work. Surprised to 4 fledglings! Much earlier than I expected. 4 tiny fluff balls on legs walking around straying outside the cones/nest site, and occasionally hiding under one of the adults. When the adult at the nest would do an alarm call all the fledglings outside the nest site would duck down into the grass and stay still, becoming pretty much invisible. At one moment I walked a bit closer and one popped up maybe 8 feet from me and ran back towards nest. Later on the adult on the nest walked away and they all followed. At times you could hear faint little calls come from the young. They all seemed quite steady and highly mobile. Jumping on the small log at the nest site, running, hiding.
