Out of the nest, still being fed by the parents.
Fledged, but less a flier than a hopper and a climber at the moment. People often think birds need help at this stage — can’t fly, looks helpless, no sign of the parents — but they usually don’t. The parents are near, but keeping away from us.
A few days later, another in another park. Younger, fluffier. (All approaches here via telephoto lens.)
