It's been ten minutes. He still thinks I'm a fence post.

My initial narrative, quoted below, was inaccurate regarding the type of bird. It is actually a nightjar/nighthawk

 

"This little guy has to barely be considered a fledgling and was perched on a fence post roughly 20 yards from another falcon I'm confident was mom. Again taken east of Byers, CO and south of State HWY 36. He didn't move at all that I could see over the course of about ten minutes as I observed and snapped some photos. You can see a couple mosquitoes just in front of him, yet he never even ruffled a feather."
