Fledglings still!

Fledglings still! (Melanerpes carolinus)

This little one was waiting about 10 ft above the suet feeder for mom to fill up and come feed it.

I don't remember seeing fledglings this late in the season and it's not just the Red-bellieds. Northern Cardinals as well. Been a very strange breeding season but excellent for these guys and the No. Cards.

Bird's plumage is shown very well as you have made good use of the existing light.

Thank you for sharing,

Young birds tend to be shy around other bird; defensive, cautious. I know what your saying, and it has been a phenominon out West here. I, and my brother, have noticed a late breeding season of the Harry and Acorn woodpecker. We report this information and some of the "experts" concure; it is a bit late. Very good image, like the lighting and the neutral tones; goot comp. :t: :t: :t:
