This Oak Titmouse (Baeololphus inornatus) pair is trying to coax their nestlings into becoming fledglings. They begin by bringing only token bits of food to the nest box entrance, then fly to a nearby branch and call to them. Make sure to see the entire article as this weeks West Coast Beat Writer post at 10000 Birds. And please stop by my YouTube channel to see more of my over 100 bird videos!

This is wonderful Larry!
Absolutely adorable!!!!
That was so neat! I was just holding my breath and saying “c’mon you can do it” to those frantic little things. Thanks for posting, I loved this.
The suspense was killing me. It was so cute seeing their hesitation about going out into the world. Great finale!
It really is great to see them fledge!
Loved watching this! So much hesitation at first, then they popped out, one after the other.
