Blue Jay begging
This young Blue Jay was fluttering his wings and making all sorts of weird begging calls. The parent was just out of sight.

Same thing with this young Common Grackle. The stump in the photo is just underneath a peanut feeder.

Here’s a peanut for you, you obnoxious begger!
American Robin
The Robin baby that’s just out of the nest is waiting patiently for his mama to return with some food. He doesn’t have much of a tail!
I was so happy when the Grackle babie left my yard. They really are loud and obnoxious!
