Spotted this little one in our hedge. Presume a parent was nearby. #birds #robin #fledgling
Cuteness overload - a family of #fledgling #LongTailedTits parked and awaiting food from their parents.
In the woods at #WWTCastleEspie.
Shot on #canon, processed in #AffinityPhoto and #TopazLabs #GigaPixel.
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!
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.
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…
Zu weit weg und viel zu klein - nichtsdestotrotz freue ich mich riesig, dass die Zwergtaucher, denen ich beim Nestbau zuschauen durfte, jetzt ein Küken haben. Als ausgewachsener Taucher wird es mal so groß sein wie ein Gänseküken.
The second brood of bluebirds has fledged! Here, one (a boy, I think) gets fed by his dad. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #feeding #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast
The house finch fledglings were the first to appear in early May. It appears that a second brood has just fledged. I saw this adult male feeding babies next to the the feeder. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #fledgling #feeding #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast
