Running Dad ragged

By the time the youngsters fledge, Mom and Dad are starting to look a little ragged. The good news for them is that today I saw all three of the fledglings feeding themselves at the feeder and drinking at the water bowl solo. I'm sure the parents take a few weeks to recuperate. Some bird species have two clutches in the summer. Maybe they have short memories!
