On Monday afternoon, 23 June, Carla and Ecco bowed at the nest then Carla was preening when her daughter “Yellow” crashed in. Carla left so quickly that the snapshot didn’t capture it.
Yellow had nothing else to do so she hung out in the heat.

It seems like the “kids” ought to be ready to leave home but they typically don’t depart until mid July. It’s going to be a long couple of weeks for Carla and Ecco.
Love this! Thanks for capturing this for us! Hilarious on a sweltering day when it’s too hot to do anything
