Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) fledgling being fed by mom or dad. #BirdoftheDay theme is #Parenting. #birds #backyard #Florida #BabyBird

A dynamic action scene of a recently fledged Northern Mockingbird being fed. The baby bird is perched facing forward on an angled oak branch with their beak raised and opened wide showing a bright yellow/orange gape, as a parent bird’s head leans in from the right about to put food in. The baby bird is shades of gray and brown and has a light breast, dark wings, and white wing bar. The breast feathers are a little wet. The background is indistinct leafy greens.
