This was the male and female, having a brief off-nest discussion, prior to the first brood of chicks fledging back in June. This was about six feet away from the nest, inside the flue to my furnace on the side of my house. It has been a busy summer for these two! There have been three broods.

I am posting this in response to corrected IDs of what I thought was a newly fledged Female. I am beginning to think you are all correct. This photo is not very good, but these four were digging in the gravel in my yard, likely feeding themselves for the first time. They had left the nest less than an hour earlier.

I am not sure this is right. This bird had the distinctive call of this species, has the white tail feathers, but I didn’t see yellow in its wings, nor the white eye rings. Found at 9300 ft. on the slopes of Mt. Shavano

This beautiful creature fell out of a Cottonwood tree, and landed at our feet.
