We used chi-square analyses to evaluate nest and fledge success between years, and two-sample t-tests to evaluate brood sizes between years in colonies that were monitored during both study years.

1--Percent of nests that failed to fledge at least one young for barn swallows and cave swallows nesting under bridges, in culverts, and for all colonies combined.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said only one white tailed eagle is expected to fledge from the wind farm site on the birds' former stronghold of Smola, a set of islands about six miles off the north-west Norwegian coast.

Indian newspaper The Hindu reported last week that a team of seven students from the Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) has developed a new gasoline-fueled hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) dubbed "The Fledge."

Most first clutches of the season held three eggs (62% of 503 clutches), but the proportion of young to fledge did not vary with brood size (1-5 young), and as a result, broods of five were the most producti ve.

This difference is not surprising per se, because wing length may change with each molt, but for most bird species chicks fledge with shorter wings than adults (e.g., Warham 1990 for petrels).

Gavin Clark, SNH Tayside and Grampian operations manager, said: "There's a risk that too many people trying to get too close may put pressure on the birds and cause chicks to fledge prematurely.

Prior to 1999, plover fledge rates at the refuge exceeded the recommended rate only once.

Compared to parents of asynchronously hatched broods, parents of synchronously hatched broods may (1) invest greater levels of effort to raise their broods; (2) experience lower survival; (3) be less likely to raise a second brood; (4) experience delays in laying a second clutch; (5) lay fewer eggs in a second clutch; or (6) fledge fewer young from a second brood.

Athena was one of 11 hen harrier chicks to fledge from nests in the county this summer.

"In 2016 one pair bred but did not fledge any young.

I also evaluated post-fledging patterns of movement by timing of fledge as a surrogate of seasonal availability of resources.

Researchers from the University of Exeter and Queen's University Belfast found birds laid their eggs earlier and successfully reared more chicks to fledge in areas where food had been provided earlier in the year.
