There is a family group that frequents our backyard. I had not thought about such big birds being fledglings, but one day I grabbed my binoculars and realized the different behavior I was observing was that of parent/child. The group of 3 had increased to 5 or 6. Thanks to the course, I understood what I was seeing. I am puzzled by one that seems to whine sometimes by itself, sometimes in the group. I have tried to see if it is being picked on, or just being "that kid." Any insight? There is a leader who seems to lead the way, but everyone cooperates.
