Title: Fledging id challege
Post by: lovemypt on July 04, 2022, 09:22:16 AM: Here is a challenge for these bird experts in the slow days of summer..... What species is this?? I know what it is.... but would have never recognized it if the parents were not right by feeding it..... hint "it is a warbler"
Will post a shot of parent later
Note: I was only close to chick for a few seconds , then left spot , and shot with a 400m lens and pic enlarged
