Robin Series: Departure

With very little fanfare, nestlings will suddenly just stand up, hop onto a tree branch, and get ready to move on. They fly away very soon after gaining the courage to step from the nest. This juvenile looks very proud of himself, with his flight feathers in place (even though his tail is not yet developed). Even after leaving the nest, mom and dad still provide meals for a week or two.
