I was sort of staring out into the front yard while folding laundry
and become puzzled by what was watching. An mature robin was feeding
another bird that was hopping around behind it.

I went down stairs and grabbed the binoculars. Lo and behold - mom
or dad was feeding a fledging insects from the lawn. I had at least
three parent fledging pairs hopping around.

Sadly, no one else was interested.....

We're interested! Yesterday I had a Red-bellied Woodpecker bring her
youngster to the suet feeder. He tried very hard to learn how to get
at the suet with little success. there is something very endearing
about the clumsiness of a baby bird.
