"Newly hatched chicks have a sparse coat of grey down (protoptiles) that is replaced by a dense, wooly, and white down (mesoptiles) in about 10 days. Chicks grow fast, being about half the height of adults in three to four weeks. By the sixth and seventh weeks, the plumage on the head and neck turns smokey grey. When fledged, they resemble the adult, differing only in that they have a feathered head and a yellow bill." Wikipedia

Thanks to everyone for your visiting, favs & comments :).
When we found these cubs they were all alone at a watering hole in the hot afternoon sun. It is not uncommon for females to leave their cubs unattended when they go off in search of food, but this leaves the cubs vulnerable to predators. Fortunately, in this instance the female and her partner - he had to have been a member of this pride, perhaps the father of the cubs - arrived after about an hour. The cubs were very happy to see mom, water is not a good substitute when you are a hungry cub.

Northern Cardinal fledgling and papa
Bass Lake, MI
High drama on a rainy afternoon. We had been watching a male Northern Cardinal bringing food into a small low bush for many days. One afternoon we suddenly noticed a single fledgling out alone on the deck of my sister's house. The male came in several times to feed the youngster. The male and female insistently called the baby to get it down from the deck and away from the danger of other nearby birds and rodents. They eventually persuaded junior to get down on the ground, where it immediately faced trouble with some very interested chipmunks. With tiny hopping flights the bird made it to the backyard area.
Several days later, the male was still feeding the nestlings in the bush, but we also saw him feeding the displaced fledge in the back. Very dedicated papa!
This little mouse must have been very hungry, because it let me get quite close and did not jump away. It was a very cold afternoon! I'm not sure about the species, but it is probably a Bank vole (Myodes glareolus) which is widespread in Europe and Northern Asia.
