Pale-breasted Thrush Fledgling
Turdus leucomelas (fledgling)
This fledgling leaves the nest but stays in dense shrubs and low branches while it strengthens its flight. It follows adults, begs for food, and begins probing leaf litter for insects and soft fruit. Short, clumsy flights help it escape danger and move between cover. Its spotted juvenile plumage provides better concealment than the clearer coloring of an adult.
