It's Fledgling Season!

On Wednesday, neighbor Tony Britton sent me photos of two fledgling American Crows. I have observed the adults earlier this spring carrying nesting material, just couldn't find the nest. So a big thanks to Tony for sending me these photos. She was concerned that the fledglings may come to harm on the ground, but from my research it is best to leave baby birds and other animals alone as the parents will usually take care of them. Keeping an eye on them is a good idea in case the parents don't return. In that case if there is not change after a couple of days, please contact Fairfax County Animal Rescue/Control at 703-691-2131.

Thank you, Tony, for your vigilance and for sharing your photos!
