Atlantic Birding's #BirdOfTheDay Alt. theme is #Fledglings; any newly fledged bird. I'm not sure how long ago this eastern kingbird fledged, but it clearly has some expectations for parental support. 📷

Two eastern kingbirds perch on a leafless branch, which enters the frame from the right. Kingbirds have brown-black upper parts, wings, tail and head, while the breast and throat are white. The kingbird on and left is a fledgling, shown in right profile, crouched in a begging position with its beak open. The kingbird on the right is shown in left profile, but its head is turned to face the camera with an expression that seems to say, "Can you believe what I have to put up with?"
