13 Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Fledglings.

4 Three Raven fledglings waiting for their parents return. We know they are babies due to their pink inner mouths, our neighborhood has become a raven daycare, their parents leave them often. I have no #shadesofgray so its the alt theme fledglings for me. 2 comments · 1d ago · by Missy #birdoftheday#fledglings#shadesofgray
61 For #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Fledglings, a fledgling Pin-tailed Whydah I saw standing in a boot print on a sandy path at the LA Arboretum yesterday. These birds are brood parasites; this fledgling was hanging out with a group of Scaly-breasted Munia who were apparently raising it. 11 comments · 1d ago · by Lori #birdoftheday#fledglings
