Bluebird fledgling sitting on a wire, just a few days after leaving the nest. Its tail is growing quickly.

I swear, baby is bigger than the harried parent but insists on having the food placed directly in birb's beak...

"I'm little and helpless, you have to feed me"-- was the vibe of this whole encounter

❤️ 🤣

In a beautiful moss & epiphyte covered tree against a background of green leaves sits two hawks. On the left stands a brown and yellow one with a streaky brown breast has an open beak holding (if you click to zoom) a tiny piece of mussel. This bird is turned to face the black hawk on the right who still holds the rest of the mussel shell in her foot (hard to see but again if you click...) They are both Common Black-Hawks but the brown one is a recent fledge still being fed and fussed over by the adult bird. Both parents participate in caring for their young birds, so I do not know if this is mom or dad, although I am guilty of calling this bird "yelling mom" in a different photo.

Big day in the backyard today. The baby bluebirds left the nesting box! Here's a fledgling just minutes after leaving the box.

Earlier this spring a couple blue jays and robins moved into our neighbour's trees and shrubs. Today their fledglings both made an appearance in our backyards at differing stages of their development: the robin can just barely do something that resembles flying, the blue jay can only hop. #Birds #fledgling #bluejay #robin

Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin. The pidgeon tried to chase away any competitors but gave up pretty soon. In the end it was enough for all of them - even for that little ever hungry sparrow fledgling. You can still see the yellow color around its beak.

Taken with X-T4 and XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR + 1.4x.

Spotted this little one in our hedge. Presume a parent was nearby. #birds #robin #fledgling

Backlit Harpy Eagle chicks are the devil! 🤣 This beautiful but wrongly lit baby eagle was a real challenge... I'm not sure how to process backlit photos, suggestions are always welcome. Many days in Panama are overcast, but not this day!

On a cloudless blue day, the sun is shining through the branches and straight through the lifted crest of a baby Harpy Eagle, the National Bird of Panama. The chick is a very large hunched-looking borb with a white crest and face, dark eyes, and an already strongly hooked eagle's bill. Darien, Panama. Photo by Peachfront. April 2025.

Magpie fledgling trying its best to stay still and not be seen - with attitude.
Thankfully it flew up into a dead tree nearby - cute wobbly flight of a learner.
They grow so fast - the other photo is of all 3 magpie chicks in their nest high up in a gum tree a week ago.

The local cygnets, still in the grey plumage of juvenile swans, have begun to practice flying.

Lots of flapping and slapping of wings on the water as they get going. About ⅔ of them now become completely airborne—though only 1 meter above the canal.

They go 500 meters, from one bridge to the next, then return to the adults by paddling all in a row.

A half dozen grey cygnets, following each other all in a row as they paddle along a canal.

Across the canal is a gently sloping hill, green and grassy. Further back there's a row of mature trees. The sky is blue and the grass brilliant green in the early evening sunshine.

The goldfinch babies have finally fledged! I saw 2 of them at the feeder with their dad (he looks bad because he is molting). Here one perches above the feeder, asking to be fed. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #goldfinch #birdphotography #video #HoosierMast

Another brood of four swallows in the Roundhouse at #WWTCastleEspie.
Amazing that these little birds will be heading off to Africa in the next few weeks.
I hope the weather is kind to them… 🤞🏻
