Birds of Kentucky: Watch out for youngsters

I was intently watching a flock of noisy geese when I heard a rather insistent robin chirping in the tree branch just over my head. Looking around, I found myself just inches from this juvenile robin, likely resting up after an attempted flight. I'm not sure if the adult robin was warning the juvenile about me, or warning me about the juvenile, but I moved a few yards away to give them space. Comments | Permalink
