Black-capped Chickadee Fledgling
Poecile atricapillus (fledgling)
Black-capped Chickadee fledglings leave the nest before their flight and foraging skills are fully developed, remaining in dense shrubs and low branches near their parents. They are fed insects, spiders, seeds, and berries while learning to pick food from foliage and bark. Their soft, persistent calls help keep family groups in contact as the young birds practice short, agile flights.
