Last Sunday, I was doing my routine monitoring on weekly basis on the painted storks. Surprisingly, most of the chicks have fledged and flew off from their nests. First nest, 1 chick still perching near the nest, second nest - zero, third nest, 1 chick hidden behind the leafs, while the parent is still incubating on the fourth nest. Apparently, there is another nest. 2 chicks were observed with 1 really trying hard to fly.
