I went back up to check out the frogmouth nest at Mt Roger late
afternoon. 2 chicks causing some discomfort for the adult sitting bird
who didnt seem to be able to get into any comfortable position for too
long due to the size of the chicks - seems they will fledge surely
within next 24-48 hrs.

Not knowing too much about frogmouths when they fledge can anyone tell
me how far they initially fledge from the nest ? Will they remain in the
area close to the nest for a short period and how quickly will they then
disperse more widely ? For how long do the adult birds feed the fledglings?

thanks

Tim
