One of my buddies tipped me about a location where 5 #juvenile #kestrels were preparing to leave their nest box only a small detour from the polder I went to visit this morning. Some were stretching their wings, a few others where just sitting in the grass. 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #fledglings #falco #tinnunculus #DutchNature #Putten #birdsofprey #falcons #takentoday

The fuzzy in-between.

One of four young Green Herons we saw at #LakeApopka. Feathered in a mix of downy fledgling and juvenile plumage, they were perched together in a #marsh shrub at the edge of the loop road. @CTGT got a couple great shots of several of them together that I’m sure he will post soon.

This cardinal fledgling it’s not picked the greatest place to land. But I scared it to a better spot than the bush It was originally in which was way too easily accessible by the outdoor cats that wander this area. (it fluttered from here to a Japanese maple tree nearby.)

Just like toddlers, fledglings can be so obnoxious, especially when they're hungry. Here, a Yellow-Headed Blackbird fledgling pesters its Dad to "Feed me! Feed me! FEED ME!!!" 🤣 🤣 🤣

My latest #photo of the #Bald #Eagles in the #UWArboretum, #Madison, #WI. The #fledglings are now starting to fly - here we see on coming into land after flying a loop of the immediate area. #birding, #birdphotography, #bird, #birdwatching

It looks like the fledgling bluebirds are a male and a female. They're still being fed by their parents, though I saw the female eating mealworms on her own. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast #fledglings
Babies everywhere! Most are eating on their own, but some are still pestering their parents for food. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #fledglings #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast
The bluebirds' first brood did not appear at the feeders, so I assume it failed. However, the parents have been coming back and forth to the feeders lately, so I assumed there was a second brood. And here they are! Glad to see them. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast #fledglings #bluebirds
