Fledgling Bird

Description

A little Phoebe probably out on its first flight.  Phoebe are a sort of flycatchers. 

Bullet; Yellow If you happen upon a little bird that has feathers but either doesn't know to fly away from you or doesn't fly to well, its a fledgling.  Unless the fledgling is in danger it is best left alone if in danger you can move it to someplace safer, parents will be able to find it by calling.  Parents are usually about finding food for their youngsters, some sparrows and other birds can have as many as eight young which is many mouths to feed, especially if they are in eight different directions. 

Anyway, this little one was perched with both his parents on the fence of the horse pasture.  When his parents fled at my approach this little guy was just sat there so I grabbed him from behind.  A horse pasture is no place for a bird learning to fly, and there is a crazy Peruvian Horse in the pasture that chases birds and tries to trample them.  I let him go a few yards away were the barn cats wouldn't find him.  Of course, I needed a few pictures because this is one of the rarer birds that I have caught(there's a list).
