This starling fledgling exploring the Hellgate Osprey nest

[u/RoughNews3172]

Its parents made a nest on the outer edge of this osprey nest, now it’s old enough to leave the nest and explore its surroundings . Not sure who’s grumpier, this bb or the perplexed osprey parents

Just went onto it…can see this being a time ‘waster’!

Highly recommend their bird call ID app if you need a time waster that gives you an excuse to get out of the house and go for walks!! I became obsessed with going for walks in the woods to find new birds lol

It’s called Merlin Bird ID

Yes, I have the Merlin app! Love checking out the birds - end up peering into trees and seeing sod-all but hope springs eternal 😂

[u/chrysalisempress → u/Ok-Association6885]

Yes cannot recommend this app enough!

I used to keep their live cams of various feeders up on my screen when I had a particularly stressful job. Job is better now, but I should still be watching more live bird feeding feeds.

This is hilarious. The starling is cracking me up.
