At this time of year, sometimes a bird can show up and make you think "what in the world is that?" With fledglings abounding right now, confusing and perplexing us birders, I thought we could play a game of "Name That Fledgling!" See if you can name them all!

Fledgling #3
Taken in my neighborhood, Davis County
Fledgling #4
Taken in my neighborhood, Davis County
"Fledgling #5"
Okay, this one's technically not a fledgling, but a nest with nestlings.
Pay attention to the placement and construction of the nest and you can
"name the nestlings." Mueller Park, Davis County.
Good luck! I'll post the answers in a few days.

First one is a Fox Sparrow, second looks like a Brown-headed Cowbird, Third... hmmm. Spotted Towhee? Fourth sort of looks like a Quail, but I'm not sure on that one. And Last... Man, I really don't know my nests. Could it be a swallow? Looks like I need to study up on fledglings! ;)
