Field Notes

Description:

These fledglings have been learning to fly and have already left the nest a few times, and they don't all fit in it together anymore which is why there are heads and butts sticking out everywhere. They have a dark blue back and rust colored front.

Habitat:

Visitors center building at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Desert scrub area.
