Since these birds are still in the nest would not they be "nestlings"? I believe
to have "fledged" means that they would have left the nest.

Fledglings are baby birds that have fledged, so have the potential to leave the nest if they wanted to.

To me, it just looked like the birds in the photo had not attained their flight feathers yet so would be incapable of flight at this stage.

i saw one of them get out and fly. i think they had all lost theire downy feathers except some on the face and belly. and birderbf gets five points again!!!! so u got 18 points now... the next one is coming...

the chouch was photographed by me up on the alpine tundra at a beer garden. there were about 10 begging for food

 

[Storm-Petrel]

Hey you gave me a bad link! It won't open ...waaaaa.

But I can deduce something from Larry Lade's guess. Probably from AK, so Bald Eagle and three Glaucous Gulls.
