American Robin Fledgling
Turdus migratorius (fledgling)
Fledgling American robins have left the nest but still make short, clumsy flights and spend much time hopping through grass and shrubs. They continue begging from parents while learning to find worms, insects, and soft fruit on their own. Their spotted breast helps them blend into dappled vegetation during this vulnerable stage. A notable fact is that fledglings may leave the nest before they can fly well, relying on hiding and quick hops for survival.
