"Double (In-)Trouble" Fledglings
Two European Starling (id by MerlinBirdID) fledglings jostled with each other at Magee Marsh, Ohio. There was no apparent nest, nor adult birds, observed nearby. The fledglings eventually settled their grievances with each other (or just got tired) and remained side-by-side just off of the boardwalk at the marsh. Adult birds often return to feed their fledglings, so we were hopeful that the parent(s) would return.
