[This is a follow-up question to my earlier post.]

While watching our local Red-Breasted Sapsucker nest today, I saw one
youngster tumble out of the nest hole and spend the rest of my
viewing time on a branch, from which he/she was fed by the parents
(photos: http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/birds/sapsuckerNest/).

Now I'm wondering: Does it ever happen that these fledglings make
their way back to the nest? Or did I just happen to see a
once-in-a-bird's-lifetime event?
