Baicich and Colin J. O. Harrison, Academic Pr, 1997. I believe it is available at the ANS bookstore at Woodend. It is wealth of info. including incubation period, nestling period, who incubates, who feeds, etc. Joe Coleman near Bluemont, VA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Mumford" To: Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] Birds fledging > Does anyone have either research knowledge or substantial experience > indicating when baby birds actually leave their nests or cavities when fledging?
