Blue-gray Tanager Fledgling
Thraupis episcopus (fledgling)
Blue-gray Tanager fledglings shelter in vegetation near the nesting area while practicing short, clumsy flights. They follow adults and continue begging for fruit and insects as they learn to forage independently. Young birds are generally duller and less distinctly blue-gray than adults, helping them blend into leafy cover. Their flight control improves quickly during this vulnerable period.
