Carolina Chickadee Nest

17 Days in the Life of a Carolina Chickadee

July 27, 2017 by MoJo

 

What amazes me every single nesting is how incredibly-fast hatchlings mature into fledglings.  The four Carolina Chickadee nestlings in this photo were just 90 minutes from fledging.  In the background is one unhatched egg.  Just 17 days earlier these four nestlings were encased in a same-size eggshell.  Creation, at the smallest level of detail, is awe-inspiring!
