A bird cam was placed above a Northern Cardinal nest. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see an open nester from nest building to when the nestling left the nest. 3 eggs were laid before a Cowbird arrived and took 2 eggs away and laid an egg of it's own. The adult female Cardinal hatched both her own and the Cowbirds egg. One hatchling died a week after hatching. We were never able to determine for sure which species didn't survive. Eleven days after hatching the surviving nestling left the nest. This is an edited video of that last day know as... Day 11 Fledging Day. www.wild-bird-watching.com Video Rating: 5 / 5
