2024 Nest Box Observation: Complete Record of Daurian Redstart’s First Nesting in 2024
In 2024, a Daurian redstart moved into a front-open nest box originally prepared for a Narcissus flycatcher! This is a 44-day record from nesting to parenting and fledging. The mother’s fluffy appearance while warming the chicks and the chicks’ adorable "chirp-chirp" sounds were heartwarming... and their fledging was truly moving!
For a closer look at the Daurian redstart’s parenting, check out the 2024 Nest Box Update playlist, which includes the first and second nesting videos:
