I, too, have watch fledgelings (Chickadees, House Finches, and House Sparrows)continue to follow their parents around well after they have left the nest. Which seems to be something new compared to past years. I now have to wonder if I wasn't paying attention in the past, could it be the feeder, as B. Miller suggests, or it's nothing new and it's just the way of things.
