Subject: Re: [Tweeters] fledglings returning to nest

My observations are not as detailed as Jim's, but I have also been watching a violet-green swallow nest box on our house for years, and I've definitely seen the fledglings go back into (and on top of) the next box after they start to fly. I couldn't say for how long they do that, my guess is a day or two. Perhaps this is the year for me to observe more closely and find out. Currently we have three begging nestlings in the nest.
